Happy Singh still aims for heights at age of 45
VIJAY SINGH has taken inspiration from Greg Norman's Open exploits and heads to the US PGA Championship insisting he feels like a 25-year-old again.
Fijian Singh fended off challenges from Lee Westwood, Stuart Appleby and Phil Mickelson to win the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational and declared: "I feel 20 years younger."
At 45 years and 163 days, Singh became the oldest winner since the WGC events began in 1999 as he sealed a tremendous one-stroke victory over Westwood and Appleby.
In a year that has seen 53-year-old Norman go close in the Open at Royal Birkdale and three other winners over the age of 40 on the PGA Tour – Kenny Perry, Steve Lowery and Greg Kraft - a delighted Singh made another case for longevity.
"I always feel 10 years younger," Singh said. "Now I feel like 20 years younger.
"It shows that you can still play no matter what your age is."
The US PGA starts at Oakland Hills on Thursday.
