SAN DIEGO (AP) — Brandt Snedeker won the praise of his peers for a closing round at Torrey Pines that left them in awe.
Now he has a trophy to show for it.
Snedeker wound up winning the Farmers Insurance Open on Monday when the conditions turned out to be just as tough as when he shot his 69 on Sunday, a score that was roughly nine shots better than the field average.
Jimmy Walker had a oneshot lead over Snedeker and K.J. Choi when the final round resumed among a dozen toppled trees on the South Course. With a strong wind from the opposite direction, Walker and Choi tried to hang on with pars and simply couldn’t.
