Singh makes Fed Ex victory official

Villegas defeats Garcia in playoff for 2nd straight PGA Tour win

Vijay Singh holds the trophy after winning the FedEx Cup at the finish of the Tour Championship golf tournament on Sunday at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta.

? What was supposed to be the highlight of the Tour Championship – the FedEx Cup – turned into an afterthought.

Vijay Singh effectively wrapped up the $10 million prize two weeks ago in St. Louis, so all he had to do was finish 72 holes at East Lake and sign for the correct score to win the FedEx Cup.

Singh closed with a 70 and tied for 22nd in the 30-man field, but none of that mattered. He won the first two playoff events to take the drama out of the FedEx Cup for the second straight year.

Too far behind to do anything about the Cup, Camilo Villegas put together a stirring rally Sunday that was good enough to win the Tour Championship in a playoff over Sergio Garcia for his second straight victory.

Villegas overcame a five-shot deficit by making six birdies over his last 11 holes for a 4-under 66, then beat Garcia with a par in the playoff on the 233-yard 18th.

The 26-year-old Colombian, who had gone 85 starts on the PGA Tour without winning, picked up his second in a row Sunday.

Villegas, who should move to No. 6 in the world ranking today, earned $1.26 million for winning the Tour Championship.

Anthony Kim and Phil Mickelson each shot 69, and each had a chance to join the playoff. Kim, playing in the second-to-last group with Villegas, missed from 30 feet. Mickelson’s 20-foot birdie putt stayed above the hole.
