Vijay Nearly Wraps Up FedEx Cup
Vijay Singh won the Deutsche Bank Championship by a five shot margin. He’s now far ahead in the FedEx Cup standings. It’s likely that someone will have to win both the BMW Championship and the Tour Championship for Vijay not to win the FedEx Cup.
So much for my assertion that Vijay can’t putt. He putted magnificently, two weeks in a row.
My pick to win the FedEx Cup, Padraig Harrington, missed the cut for the second week in a row and dropped to 44th in the standings. He’ll need to get into the top 30 to advance to the Tour Championship.
My dark horse picks, Anthony Kim, finished T27 and dropped one spot to 7th in the FedEx Cup standings; Phil Mickelson failed to make the second cut and finished T73. He fell to 8th in the FedEx Cup standings.
It’s looking pretty unlikely that Paddy can pull off the FedEx Cup. Even if he wins the next two events, he’ll have 121,000 points; Vijay is already at 120,500 points.
