The defending champions put up a good fight, but it wasn’t enough to hold off the Singhs.
Three-time major champion Vijay Singh and son, Qass, started off hot and finished strong on Sunday to claim the 2022 PNC Championship at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando. Team Singh made birdie on each of the first seven holes and added two more on Nos. 12 and 13 before an eagle on the par-5 14th tied the lead at 24 under. A birdie on the 16th gave the Singhs the solo lead at 25 under and another on the 18th gave them a two-shot lead at 26 under. The Singhs shot 59-59 to become the first team to shoot two sub-60 rounds in PNC history.
The father-son duo have come close in the past at the annual silly-season hit-and-giggle, finishing runner-up in 2006, 2013 and 2020.

John Daly and his son, John II, who won in 2021, finished T-2 at 24 under alongside Justin Thomas and his father, Mike, the 2020 champions. The stars of the week, Tiger Woods and his 13-year-old son Charlie, started the day two shots back T-2 with the Singhs and finished T-8 at 20 under.
