Editor's Note: Vijay Singh entered East Lake Golf Club needing only to play all four rounds and sign his scorecard to win the 2008 FedExCup. Of course, he'll do much more than that. What follows is a synopis of each of Vijay's rounds en route to collecting the trophy and the $10 million bonus:

Round 4
Pos. Score To par Birdies Pars Bogeys Driving Accuracy Putts
T22 70 E 1 16 1 29 31
BEST OF THE WEEK: There's a lot for Vijay to be happy about on this Sunday. He posted his best score of the week -- an even-par 70 -- and he picked up the FedExCup and the $10 million prize that goes with it. For the most part, Singh's day was steady. "I was trying to make all pars so I couldn't screw it up," Singh said about his scorecard. He nearly pulled off the feat. Singh made 16 pars, a birdie on the par-4 13th and a bogey on the par-5 17th, a hole that he also bogeyed on Saturday.
Round 3
Pos. Score To par Birdies Pars Bogeys Driving accuracy Putts
T24 72 +2 2 12 4 50 31
GETTING BETTER: Singh shot his best round of the week on Saturday. He finally got off to a good start and showed signs of the form that had lifted him to No. 1 in the FedExCup standings when he made the turn in 33. The big Fijian got going in the wrong direction on the back nine, though, when he made four bogeys -- including on the last two holes. The man who has never finished lower than ninth at East Lake has yet to break par 70 this week.
Round 2
Pos. Score To Par Birdies Pars Bogeys Driving Accuracy Putts
T23 74 +4 2 10 6 43 33
FROM BAD TO WORSE: Singh's first birdie of the day did not come until the par-5 15th. Before then, Singh endured five bogeys including two back-to-back sets on Nos. 1 and 2 and Nos. 13 and 14. There was, however, a flash of brilliance on No. 17, where Singh rattled the flagstick with his second shot on the par-4 to lead to a second birdie. He followed that up with another bogey on 18 to sit at 7 over for the tournament. Singh Struggles through cheers
Round 1
Pos. Score To Par Birdies Pars Bogeys Driving Accuracy Putts
T17 73 +3 2 11 5 57 30
SOUR NOTE FOR SINGH: Not much went right for Vijay on Thursday at East Lake. He bogeyed four of his first eight holes and added a fifth bogey on No. 11 before rallying for back-to-back birdies on Nos. 14 and 15. Those late birdies saved Singh from his highest career round at East Lake Country Club. As it was, he just tied it, with a 3-over 73.

Vijay Singh got into a playoff at The Barclays with a birdie putt. He extended it with another, then got the win -- and the FedExCup point lead -- with a third. Recap Sergio said it best when he said Singh, "played amazing." Singh rolled in a mile of putts in the final round at TPC Boston, giving him a huge points lead after his second straight win. Recap Singh tapped in his final putt Sunday for a 1-under 69. It was only sub-par round of the week, as he finished the tournament at even par. It didn't matter, as he clinched the FedExCup. Notes
