Brandt Snedeker Wins at Wyndham

Brandt Snedeker won his first PGA Tour event in Greensboro, North Carolina after shooting 63 to win the Wyndham Championship.

Although the field wasn’t as strong as the previous two weeks, the finish at Wyndham was just as entertaining as any tournaments, ending in a birdie barrage among the leaders that finally saw Snedeker outlast the competition. Snedeker and Tim Petrovic were tied as Snedeker stepped onto the 17th tee, and that would prove to be the turning point of the round when Snedeker hit a three iron to thirty feet on the long par 3 and sunk the long putt. With that birdie, Snedeker took the lead and never looked back. Adding up his round at the end was more strenuous than any of the day’s golf, "Me and my caddie went over 15 times making sure we didn’t mess this one up. If this is my chance to win I really do not want to mess up these numbers. I’m not a great numbers guy which is not good because I went to Vanderbilt, that doesn’t say a whole lot, but numbers are not my specialty so we went over about five, six times."

With this being Snedeker’s first year on Tour, the nerves of being in contention on a Sunday were definitely present and understandably so. Snedeker said, "I was doing everything I could to quit thinking about what was going on… Because, you know, I didn’t want to think about what’s going on. I was going to get nervous and I had that situation happen a couple times this year I got really nervous and an hit some bad shots." Yet when the pressure was on at 17, Snedeker made, "the best swing of my life," on 17 which gave him the lead. Tim Petrovic was the only player with a realistic opportunity to catch Petrovic, but a wayward drive into the trees on 18 foiled any chances of catching Snedeker. "I knew what I had to do. Everybody was out here making birdies today, so I wasn’t mad, I wasn’t shocked, I was just kind of ready to go and do my own thing. A guy shoots 63, you’ve got to take your hat off to him – he won it, I didn’t lose it," Petrovic said.

Snedeker’s $900,000 paycheck not only vaulted him up the money list, but also put him in the ninth spot on the FedEx Cup points list. Giving him some breathing room for next week’s tournament and making the $10 million annuity a tangible goal, "You try to want to get as high as you can so you have something to fall back on where you finish throughout the year. That’s my thought process. I know my game can leave me tomorrow and I can have the shanks. I wanted to go as high as I could," said Snedeker. However Snedeker was not the only big mover among the FedEx Cup race. Although third round leader Jeff Overton struggled on Sunday, he jumped into the playoff race moving from 160 to 109, safely in the field for Barclay’s next week.

Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, @HuskerFlyer is sharing a Scotty Cameron GOLO with a BGT Stability Tour2 2022 M Edition shaft. While the putter is certainly enviable, the Augusta-inspired shaft is equally noteworthy.
