"I didn't play to my best this year. I had problems with my swing." No one was contradicting Vijay Singh, but it got us thinking about when a bad season is not really that bad at all. Success of course is relative to Singh who still came away with a victory at the Barclays Classic, with 12 top-10 "nishes including the Masters and the US Open and earnings of $4.6m.
Meanwhile, the Stadium Course at Sawgrass in Florida which hosts the prestigious Players Championship, and where the Fijian often practises, has just reopened following a revamp with new fairways and sub-air pumps beneath every green. However, there was a blot on the pristine landscape with chunks of turf missing and a strip of brown dirt ruining the effect on the ninth fairway. "Do you know what animal did this?" asked one of"cial with a bit of a smirk. "Vijay Singh." Players were allowed to use the ninth fairway as their range while the practice facilities were also being redeveloped.
