Joint leader Vijay Singh reveals post-round plans with his son at the PNC Championship: "He needs to hit a couple of balls"
Vijay Singh disclosed post-round plans with his son Qass Singh at the PNC Championship. The tournament is only over with the first round and the final round will take place on Sunday. In the 36 holes event, Team Singh is the joint leader after 18 holes along with Team Woods and Team Langer.
After the first round, Vijay Singh attended a press conference at Ritz Carlton and revealed his post-round plans with his son. He said, via ASAP Sports:
“Well, he needs to hit a couple of balls and I need to hit maybe a couple of hundred,” Vijay said.
Qass Singh disagreed with his father and suggested saving some energy for Sunday.
“Maybe opposite. But he needs to save some energy for tomorrow, and hopefully he doesn't have to carry me as much?” Qass said.
In the same interview, Vijay Singh also discussed their Saturday round and the feeling of being at the top of the leaderboard, like in 2022.
“It was good. I mean, we made some putts. We missed some. We missed a few. It wasn't so easy to make putts out there for some reason…The back nine was strong for us. I think we made two pars and the rest was one eagle and a couple of -- a lot of birdies. He played well. He made some really good putts, you know. He made putts ahead of me. I didn't have to putt, that's a relief,” Vijay said.
Team Singh shot five birdies on the front nine of the PNC Championship, followed by six on the back nine along with an eagle on hole 14. Their round ended at 59. Team Singh won the tournament in 2022.
