The Fijian golfer Vijay Singh has won the US PGA Tour's FedExCup and just over $13 million after finishing with an even par 70 in the final round of the season-ending Tour Championship in Atlanta.

Singh secured the season-long points race after winning the first two of the four play-off events, and just needed to complete the event.

Colombian Camilo Villegas came from five strokes behind to clinch his second successiveTour victory by beating Sergio Garcia in a play-off.

Garcia, who held a three-shot lead going into the final round, bogeyed the par-three 18th and the pair finished the 72 regulation holes on seven-under-par.
