Vijay awarded FedEx Cup while leaders are on 15, 16

Vijay_singh_engraving_fedex_cupI find it quite telling that the FedEx Cup was awarded to Vijay Singh while the leaders were still out on the course.  The presentation was pretty brief and low key, with NBC's Jimmy Roberts conducting a two minute interview with Singh. 

What I found so amazing about the whole "ceremony" was that Don Colleran, Executive Vice President of FedEx, didn't say one word.  In fact, for the second time, he didn't even have the pleasure of handing over the trophy...Tim Finchem had that honor (shouldn't Finchem be giving out the Tour Championship prize, not the FedEx Cup?)

Also, while Vijay was being interviewed by Roberts, NBC cut to Phil Mickelson's drive on 16. Ouch.
