Vijay Singh Wins FedEx Cup 2008: The “Big Fijian” Vijay Singh captured the 2008 FedEx Cup this weekend in East Lake, Atlanta, by finishing with an even-par round of 70, and a 9-over 289 total that left him in a tie for 22nd place a field of 30 players. The entire time, all Vijay had to do was not mess it up, and the Cup, as well as a $10 million bonus were his. “I was reminded a thousand times before I started this week:

Make sure you finish 72 holes, sign your card, (have) enough clubs and, gosh, everything else… I’m glad it’s over. I tried to make it very simple on my card today, no mistakes, and make all 18 pars.” Vijay Singh Wins FedEx Cup 2008

Singh finished 16 strokes behind the winner, Camilo Villegas , who beat Sergio Garcia in a playoff. Villegas captured his second PGA Tour victory.

After basically securing the FedEx Cup with a five-stroke win at the Deutsche Bank Championship, Singh found it difficult to kick it into cruise control for the remainder of the playoffs.

“You make a bogey, you get congratulated. You make a double, you get congratulated,” Singh said.

“It didn’t really matter what I made. It took away the focus of playing this tournament. I tried really hard. When I left to come here to play, I said, ‘I’m going to keep focus.’ But that’s as far as I got."
