In just a few short weeks, the PGA has
already had a number of great story lines.
Anytime Tiger wins, it's obviously
news. And then Phil Mickelson turned in one of the more impressive
four-round efforts in recent memory at the Phoenix Open.
But lost in that mix was Brandt
Snedeker, who might be the best story of all so far this season.
Snedeker, last year's FedEx Cup
champion, is red-hot and finally got a win to show for it this
weekend at the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am when he topped Chris Kirk
by two strokes.
Snedeker finished runner-up to Tiger at
Torrey Pines two weeks ago and was the runner-up in Phoenix when
Mickelson went off. But in five starts this season, Snedeker has a
victory, his pair of second place finishes and a one third place
showing.
While Snedeker isn't exactly a new name
— he was Rookie of the Year in 2007 — he should be included in
conversations about today's top golfers.
He's on fire right now, earning six top
three finishes in his last nine outings dating back to next year. And
there's no reason to think that momentum is going to stop anytime
soon.
