Singh Clinches FedEx Cup


Despite a T-44 finish at the BMW Championship in St. Louis this weekend, Vijay Singh locked up the FedEx Cup $10 million first prize. Singh, who won the first two FedEx Cup playoff tournaments, only has to show up at the Tour Championship in Atlanta in two weeks, play four rounds and sign his scorecard. You’d think that would make the mercurial Singh happy, right? Hard to say because the churlish pro refused to talk to the media after his round Sunday. Mr. Fairway understands that the media can be a pain the rear but Singh should at least have the courtesy to answer a few questions and pretend to be excited about cashing a big check. Perhaps the PGA Tour should institute a rule that players have to meet the media following their rounds. The attitude displayed by Singh is one reason he is not a fan favorite. Not that we would ever wish him bad luck, but how sweet it would be to see him DQ’d and miss out on the big prize.

Your comment regarding DQ, unless made in jest, doesn't track to stating Vijay has it locked up. If he has it locked up, he has it locked up. He can take the tournament off and still win.
