Brandt Snedeker with Wyndham trophy

Brandt Snedeker has spent the final couple of years handling bodily troubles that docs instructed him best come from touch sports activities.

This week, the relaxation of the sector have to have felt like Brandt was playing complete-contact golfing.

From Thursday's fifty nine to Sunday's nip-and-tuck conflict with C.T. Pan, Brandt led the entire manner. And whilst Pan's unexpected OB force on 18 made the finishing less of a assignment, Brandt nevertheless tired a 20-footer to seal the deal via 3 strokes.

His go back to the winner's circle could not have come at a higher time. His fifty nine, coupled with this win and his reputation for streaky true play, will surely snatch Jim Furyk's attention as he ponders his four Ryder Cup choices. And allow's not ignore the possibilities ahead within the FedExCup Playoffs. After all, Brandt has won the FedExCup earlier than!

Of course, there has been additionally a battle to make the Top125 so that you can make the Playoffs, and a pair of things there stood out to me. I'd like to salute Sam Saunders for making his first-ever Playoffs and, while Captain Furyk did not cause them to, he completed T4 together with his lowest-ever tournament score -- even even as he had to attend to Ryder Cup commercial enterprise.

But this turned into all about Brandt. And, considering that he failed to want the Wizard to 'tap' his very last putt into the hole, I experience absolutely quality approximately giving him his most recent Limerick Summary.

His game?S not the type to enchant,

So his possibilities of overdue had been scant.

Still, it should be conceded:

When magic became needed,

The true Wyndham Wizard was Brandt! The photo came from this page at golfweek.com.
