Golfer Vijay Singh will have to work harder if he is to defend The Barclays Championship title this weekend.

Singh who won the championship last year on his way to win the Fed-Ex Cup made a disastrous start in the opening round today.

He shot 4 over par 75 and lies in 108th place on the leader board.

It seems that The Barclays title is slipping away from his hand, as he is 10 shots behind the leader Paul Goydos of USA.

Singh must perform extremely well in the last three rounds to have any chance of retaining his title.
