Vijay Singh birdied the second playoff hole to beat Jeff Maggert and win the Constellation Senior Players Championship on Sunday in Highland Park, Ill.
Singh knocked in a putt from about 2 feet after a nearly perfect approach on the 18th hole at Exmoor Country Club. That gave him his first major title on the PGA Tour Champions to go with victories at the Masters and two PGA Championships.
"It's a little different," Singh said. "It's a senior major, you know, so it's — any time you win a tournament, no matter what it is, you feel accomplishment, and that's what I feel. I feel like I played well."
Maggert began the day tied with McCarron and Bart Bryant for the lead. Singh was one shot back, but a crowd at the top thinned out, and two remained.
"I wasn't really watching the scoreboard or Vijay," Maggert said. "Like I said, I thought I needed to shoot 5, 6, 7 under today to really kind of ice it. So I was really focused in on making seven or eight birdies today. ... You know, I thought some other scores would come into play there toward the end, but the last two or three groups looked like they were struggling, other than me and Vijay."

• Thidapa Suwannapura picked up her first LPGA Tour win, closing with a 6-under 65 and birdieing the first playoff hole to defeat Brittany Lincicome at Highland Meadows in Sylvania, Ohio. In the playoff, Suwannapura made a short birdie putt after Lincicome hit her second shot into a water hazard and scrambled for par. Suwannapura closed with a 6-under 65, Lincicome with a 67.
• Laura Davies won the inaugural USGA Senior Women's Open, shooting a 5-under 68 for a 10-stroke victory at Chicago Golf Club.
• Brandon Stone missed a putt from 8 feet that would have made him the first to shoot a 59 on the PGA European Tour. Instead he won the Scottish Open in Gullane with the 19th 60 in tour history. Nine players have broken 60 on the PGA Tour.
