Norton, MA (My Sportsbook) - Vijay Singh carded a two-under 69 on Monday to win the Deutsche Bank Championship and replace Tiger Woods as the top-ranked golfer in the world. Singh finished the event at 16-under-par 268 for his sixth victory of the season.

Woods, who held the No. 1 ranking for 264 consecutive weeks, posted a 69 to tie for second along with last year's champion Adam Scott at 13-under-par 271.

Singh, who had been closing in on the top spot in the rankings throughout the summer, carried a three-shot lead into the final round at the TPC of Boston. Playing in the last group with Woods, Singh needed to finish ahead of his playing partner to move into the No. 1 position and did just that despite blowing his lead on the inward half.

After a bogey at the 13th dropped Singh back into a tie with Woods, Woods three-putted for bogey at the 14th and Singh played his approach inside five feet for a birdie at the par-four 15th to pull two ahead.

Singh, who won the PGA Championship last month, parred his next two holes before sealing the deal at the par-four 17th. He knocked his second shot to 25 feet and drained the birdie putt to regain a three-shot advantage over Woods.

Woods had a birdie try of his own at the 17th, but was unable to convert. Singh then hit his second shot to the back of the green at the par-five 18th and two-putted for birdie to cap off his 21st career victory on the PGA Tour.
