Vijay Singh Prepares To Win Second Consecutive Deutsche Bank Championship

Last year, Vijay Singh entered the Deutsche Bank Championship with extra positivity - a win a week earlier at The Barclays, the first event of the FedExCup playoffs, signaled a possible FedExCup victory for Singh. In addition, Singh had also won the World Golf Championships- Bridgestone Inviational earlier in the season.

This year, as Singh returns to Norton, Massachusetts for his defense of the Deutsche Bank Championship, he will arrive with less positive vibes. Currently, Singh is winless during the 2009 season and hoping to end that streak this week as he has won at least one tournament every season since 2002. While he still has opportunities to capture at least one victory this season, Singh knows that the end of the 2009 PGA TOUR season is quickly approaching.

Singh certainly does have various memories from his past performances in the Deutsche Bank that will help him confidently approach his first round tomorrow. Back in 2004, during the second event of the tournament's history, Singh played head-to-head against Tiger Woods and defeated him by three strokes in order to obtain the number-one world ranking in golf - a feat that very few people ever imagined a golfer accomplishing in this era, unless that golfer was Woods himself.

With two wins during the Deutsche Bank Championship's six-year history, Singh should certainly be one of the pre-tournament favorites this week. While he has struggled as of late, Singh has shown in the past that he can always create a magical performance on TPC Boston. As long as his putter cooperates, there is no reason why Singh will not leave on Sunday without another trophy.
