Snedeker’s win denies Donald No. 1 ranking

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. – The toughest part of Brandt Snedeker’s day was spent in the clubhouse.

Snedeker posted an out-of-nowhere 7-under-par 64 on Sunday to come from six shots behind to finish in the lead at The Heritage nearly two hours before the round ended.

So Snedeker headed inside to watch, wait and see if he’d get back on the course. He eventually did, beating Luke Donald in a playoff Sunday and denying the Englishman a chance at No. 1.

“It was brutal,” Snedeker said of his time in front of the TV.

“I don’t want them to do bad, but I don’t want them to do great, either.”
