Solution and Explanation
- The reporting verb "said" fixes the moment of reporting in the past.
- An action already complete at that past moment, "have won," must move one step further back, becoming "had won."
- The pronoun "I" changes to "he" to match the reporting subject.
Correct answer: He said that he had won the race.
