UUAY EARNS PGA
CHAMPIONSHIP
(AP) — Vijay Singh shot a 4-
over 76 to eke into a three-way
playoff Sunday, then made his only
birdie o f the day on the first o f three
extra holes to beat Justin Leonard
and Chris DiMareo in the PGA
Championship at Whistling Straits
in Haven, Wis.
It was Singh’s third major of his
career and fifth victory o f the year.
“It’s the prettiest one, I think,”
Singh said afte r claim in g the
Wanamaker Trophy and a check for
$ 1.125 million. "It looked ugly. When
you look at the score, I shot 4 over.
But it was a good 4 over for me.”
The 41 -year-old Singh is the 11 th
player to win in the last 11 majors
and the first over 40 to win one
since Mark O ’ Meara took the 1998
British Open at 41. Singh also joins
Tiger W oods and Nick Price as the
only players to win five tourna­
ments in a year in the last 20 years;
no one else has won more than
twice in 2004.
“This makes my yearright here,”
Singh said. “I wanted to win one
again, one major again, and it came
at the right time. I don’t have that
many years to co n ten d ... I’d like to
win a few more before I finish. This
is a great start and I think there’s
many more out there, I hope.”

Portland State Coach Tim Walsh
had something to smile about on
both sides of the football Saturday,
as he witnessed some big gains by
the offense, and a few opportunistic
plays by the defense as highlights in
the Vikings first scrimmage.
Senior running back Ryan Fuqua
is out to prove he is back to top form
in 2004. He first-down gains o f 17
and 28 yards, and most importantly,
showed his speedy, elusiveness
and ability to shake tacklers.
M uch-heralded recruit Shaun
Bodiford turned a screen pass from
Joe W iser into a 15-yardgaininthe
second series. Then he got behind
the defense for a spectacular 62-
yard reception from Sawyer Smith
midway through the scrimmage.
Defensively, the Vikings broke
up three pass plays and turned two
more tipped passes into intercep­
tions.
