Lake Buena Vista (Florida), Oct 28: Woods missed the first month of the season following knee surgery and plays a more limited schedule through the year than 40-year-old Singh, who is aiming to strip Woods of his world number one ranking as well.
"If I keep playing the way I am, I can do it," Singh said. "I give myself another five years. It's going to be really hard to get Tiger from the number one spot. He's playing so well every week. I just have to match and play better than that. I'll only feel like number one if I take over the number one spot."
Singh birdied five of the first 12 holes and was the sole leader all the way through the back nine. He took a bogey at 13, birdied the 14th, made bogey at the 16th but finished with a 32-foot birdie.
"I think my putter won the golf tournament," Singh said. "I'm playing the best I can right now. It's a good feeling to know you've got a chance of winning every time you tee it up."
