Winner: Brandt Snedeker
Around the wider world of golf: Stacy Lewis got her third win of the year at the Navistar LPGA Classic; Thidapa Suwannapura won the Vidalia Championship on the Symetra Tour; Stacey Keating won the Tenerife Open de Espana Feminino on the LET; Masanori Kobayashi won the Asia-Pacific Panasonic Open on the Asian Tour; Luke Guthrie won the WNB Golf Classic on the Web.com Tour; and Rikako Morita won the Miyagi TV Cup Dunlop Ladies Open on the JLPGA.

What can I say? Sneds is in reality remarkable.
After all the huge moments within the beyond where he fell quick -- moments that I suspect maximum golfers must undergo in a single shape or any other before they discover ways to handle them -- Brandt Snedeker handled possibly the largest moment in his golf life love it turned into simply another day.
Sneds came into the playoffs in 19th role, basically because of one win early inside the season and a variety of solid play when you consider that. He had hip surgical procedure overdue remaining 12 months and changed into out with a cracked rib a part of this 12 months. Yet he performed himself into the Top 5 without triumphing a playoff event -- as a minimum, now not one of the first three! In the 4 activities he hit a whole lot of fairways and greens, and he revamped 1300 ft of putts. That's some severe gambling!
Only 3 players shot better scores than Sneds on Sunday... none of them was more than 2 strokes better and none was close enough to mount a challenge. He simply got it done when it mattered most. And now he's headed for his maiden appearance at the Ryder Cup this week. That should be interesting!
The "Signature Column" at PGATOUR.Com about Brandt is nicely-carried out; you may discover the link to it on the cease of this post, so I may not drone on and on right here. But Johnny Miller may be proper -- this simply may be the victory that kicks Brandt's profession into high tools.
In the meantime, the Limerick Summary salutes the man who permit the genie out of the bottle -- a Coke bottle!
Like Aladdin in price of his destiny,

His critics were stilled
As he yelled to the bank, "Open Sesame!" The photo came from the Tour Championship main page at PGATOUR.com. That "Signature Column" label was on the photo on the front page as well. Looks like Brandt still isn't getting any respect! You can read that "Signature Column" here.
