SAN DIEGO (AP) – Brandt Snedeker signed his card, tried to explain how he put together a 3-under 69 in the toughest conditions this side of Britain and then went on Twitter to express one last wish.
“Weather looks perfect to me outside!!”
That’s because he was inside. And he was done. And while he wasn’t in the lead at the Farmers Insurance Open, it looked as though that would only be a matter of time considering wind gusts that consistently topped 40 mph and occasional rain that made it feel even worse Sunday.
Instead, he had to take one of the great rounds of his career and wait until Monday.
Not long after Snedeker posted his 69 – nearly 10 shots better than the average score of the players who finished – for a 6-under 282, the final round was suspended for a third and final time because of unplayable conditions. The trouble was down along the bluffs, the exposed part of the South Course, where it was difficult to stand up, much less swing a golf club or try to putt.
