Vijay Singh held off a late charge by playing partner Adam Scott to win his 30th PGA Tour title by two shots at the Mercedes-Benz Championship.
The 43-year-old Fijian, three strokes clear overnight in the season-opening event and armed with a new belly putter this week, closed with a three-under-par 70 at a breezy Kapalua Resort.
Singh looked in cruise control as he stretched his lead to five with seven holes to play before his advantage was trimmed to two when Scott holed a 10-foot birdie putt at the 16th.
The Australian's challenge effectively ended, though, with a three-putt bogey at the par-four 17th and he had to settle for second place after completing a seven-birdie 69.
Singh, who failed to birdie the par-five last for the fourth day in a row, finished on 14-under 278 to move past Sam Snead as the PGA Tour's most prolific winner after the age of 40.
Singh and late American Snead had been level with 17 titles apiece at the start of the week.
