GATESHEAD, England (AP) — Tyson Gay won his first race since a second-place finish at the world championships, then said he would be having surgery at the end of the season to cure a lingering groin injury.

Gay clocked 10.15 seconds running into a headwind at the British Grand Prix on Monday, finishing well ahead of Kim Collins and Marc Burns. It was Gay's first race since he was beaten by Usain Bolt's blistering performance in Berlin, where the Jamaican set a world record of 9.58 on Aug. 16.

Gay said he was looking forward to one or two more races, then said he was going to get surgery.
