ORLANDO, Fla. -- Kenny Perry made a clutch par on the 72nd hole Sunday and won the 2005 Bay Hill Invitational presented by MasterCard when Vijay Singh, tied for the lead with Perry at 12 under par heading to the last tee, hit his second shot into the pond fronting the 18th green and made a double bogey.

Perry's final-round 70 gave him a total of 12-under 276 at Arnold Palmer's Bay Hill Club & Lodge.

Fiji's Singh shot 69 and dropped into a second-place tie at 10-under 278 with Graeme McDowell of Northern Ireland, who shot 6-under 66, the best final-round score.
