Vijay Singh and his son Qass Singh clinched the PNC Championship after nine top-5 finishes at the PC Championship.

The father-son duo competed in 16 PNC Championships but struggled to claim one. With this victory, Vijay and Qass registered their first win of the tournament after hitting a birdie on the 18th hole.

Team Singh made birdies on each of the first seven holes in the scramble format game. They added two more birdies in the 12th and 13th holes, and an eagle on the par-5 14th tied them for the lead, which they held until the end, lifting the trophy for the first time.

The tournament, which took place from December 15 to 18, drew 20 professional golfers. Fans were hoping to see Tiger Woods and Charlie Woods register their first wins at the tournament, but no one could defeat Vijay and Qass.

With 59-59 shots, Vijay and Qass became the first team in PNC history to shoot a sub-60 round. The duo was awarded $200,000 for their incredible efforts on the golf course.


"I have fun too, but we all want to win," says Vijay Singh on his victory

Three-time major champion Vijay Singh has had an amazing start at the PNC Championship. After hitting birdies on the first seven holes, Team Singh added two more to the score on holes 12 and 13.

The PNC Championship is a family tournament, and golfers have lots of fun at the event. However, it is unavoidable that everyone wants to win the trophy.

The tournament was very special for Vijay as he was playing with his son. Speaking to the media, Singh said:

"This is a highlight of my career, winning with him (Qass)."

He went on to say:

"Everybody said to come here and have a good time. I have fun too, but we all want to win."

At the tournament, Qass Singh hit two of the best irons of his career. He said:

"This is already the best week. So, this is just making it just, you know, no words can describe it. It's going to be a memory I'm going to have forever."
