Steve Lowery won at Pebble Beach as Vijay Singh - who had a four shot lead at one point - collapsed in the final holes. Lowery won it in a sudden-death playoff. It was 47-year-old Steve Lowery's first win in eight years and his third career win.
He was in a playoff against Vijay Singh, one of golf's toughest customers.
And he never felt more at ease.
Lowery took advantage of a stunning collapse by Singh, who made three straight bogeys on the back nine, then put him away on the first extra hole with a 7-foot birdie putt to win the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.
"I couldn't have given it any more in 18 holes," said Lowery, who closed with a 4-under 68 and earned $1.08 million. "I just told my caddie, 'I've got nothing to lose.' Just go out and play aggressive."
CNN reports that Tiger Woods birdied five of his final seven holes at the Dubai Desert Classic. This comeback win follows his easier Buick Invitational victory.
Needing a birdie on the par-five 18th to force a playoff, overnight leader Els hit his tee shot into the water and made bogey.
"To go 2-for-2, it's a pretty good start, isn't it?" said Woods who won by one shot from rising star Martin Kaymer of Germany.
Woods had already finished when Kaymer, who won the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship two weeks ago, closed with a birdie-birdie-eagle for a 66.
Els's 71 gave the South African a 12-under total of 276 for a share of third place with Louis Oosthuizen, who finished with a 65.
This is the third time Woods has started a season with two straight victories, and it was another sign that the world's No. 1 player could be headed for a big year.
