Golfer Vijay Singh overcame a shaky putter on the back nine by making a 3 ½ foot par putt on the 18th hole today, with a 2-under-par 68, for a one shot victory in the WGC Bridgestone Invitational in Ohio.

Singh won his first World Golf Championship and ended a 0-for-34 drought on the PGA Tour that dated to the Arnold Palmer Invitational in March 2007, his longest stretch without winning in six years.

Singh, who had fallen out of the top 10 in the world during his drought, is now expected to move up to No.4 in the world golf rankings.
