Roundup | Lowery downs Singh in playoff at Pebble Beach

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — Having gone more than seven years and 199 tournaments without winning, Steve Lowery had every reason to feel out of his element Sunday.

He was on the 18th tee at Pebble Beach, one of the most famous spots in golf.

He was in a playoff against Vijay Singh, one of golf's toughest customers.

And he never felt more at ease.

Lowery took advantage of a stunning collapse by Singh, who made three straight bogeys on the back nine, then put him away on the first extra hole with a 7-foot birdie putt to win the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.

"I couldn't have given it any more in 18 holes," said Lowery, who closed with a 4-under 68 and earned $1.08 million. "I just told my caddie, 'I've got nothing to lose.' Just go out and play aggressive."

The 47-year-old Lowery became the oldest champion in the 71-year history of this event, and under a variety of circumstances, one of the more surprising winners.

He was No. 305 in the world ranking when he arrived on the Monterey Peninsula. He suffered a freak wrist injury last year that kept him out for three months and gave him temporary status this season. Most surprising of all is that Lowery was three shots behind Singh when he walked off the 14th tee.

Singh made three straight bogeys; only a wedge into 2 feet on the 18th hole for birdie allowed him one last chance in a playoff. That didn't last long, as Singh found two more bunkers on the 18th in overtime and did well to make par.

Both players finished at 10-under 278.

"I let this one slip away," Singh said. "I was in control, but those [bogeys] took a little air out of me. I still should have won the tournament. There's no excuse for that."

Ryan Moore of Puyallup shot a final-round 73 for a 288 total, good for a tie for 48th and $15,264.
