Snedeker no longer, sneakinger up…
Ok, the title is a bit of a reach but former Vandy golfer Brandt Snedeker is on top of the golfing world, at least right now. After two days of the Buick Invitational, he is leading. A 3 shot lead heading into the weekend is pretty good when Tiger Woods and Phil Mickleson are chasing you.
Now We all know it doesn’t mean a thing if you don’t win, but in golf it is a little bit different. One day leading, beginner’s luck? Two days, you are doing something right.
And even if he doesn’t win, that is ok, because for 2 days, he was all the talk and had everyone chasing him. Even finishing 10th in a PGA event, you are still going to make bank, so it will be ok.
Brandt had been making his way on the Nationwide tour, which is like AAA baseball or NFL Europe. You are good, but not good enough. All Brandt needed was a break and look at him. If you don’t think a hero can be made in 72 holes of golf, just remember what John Daly did back in 1991 at the PGA championship. No one, I mean no one, heard of this guy, and he shows up and wins the tournament.
You go Brandt, a lot of people will be watching you this weekend.
