Vijay Singh (only 23 putts) wins Deutsche
Bank Championship by five strokes

FROM THE AOL GOLF NEWS SERVICE
Vijay Singh used a hot putter to storm to an emphatic five-stroke victory at the Deutsche Bank Championship.
Singh broke clear of a logjam with three birdies in four holes, starting at number 11, on his way to a closing eight-under-par 63 in a testing breeze at the Boston TPC.
He finished at 22-under 262, clinching his third victory in his past five starts, with Canadian Mike Weir (71) five shots behind in second place on 267.
South African Ernie Els (70) was another three shots back in a tie for third with Colombian Camilo Villegas (73) on a disappointing day for Sergio Garcia.
The Spaniard was right in the hunt after three successive birdies from the second hole but it all went wrong after a bogey at the ninth hole as he limped to a 72 and a tie for fifth on 13 under.
"That was awesome. All I can say is say well done to Vijay. He must have holed a mile of putts out there today," said Garcia, who played with the winner who had only 23 putts in his closing round of 63.
Singh, 45, was already the most winning non-American player on the United States PGA Tour.
He now has 34 career victories, the same number as Phil Mickelson. Among active players, only Tiger Woods has more.
Singh, who won last week's Barclays Championship, the first of four events in the tour's play-off series, also took an almost insurmountable lead in the race for the 10 million US dollars (around £5million) bonus awarded to the play-off winner.
Martin Laird didn't live up to his recent high finishes but joint 50th among this company is not all that bad! He earned $16,100 for a three-under-par total of 281. A final round of two-over 73 knocked him down the final standings.
