Good morning.
Brandt Snedeker was a selection a few weeks ago for the Arnold Palmer Invitational after an excellent 4th at the Transitions the week previously. However he misread the script there and opened up with an 80 and subsquently missed the cut !
It's always worth forgiving one bad outing and prior to that he had managed three top ten finishes this season with the latest an improving effort at the Transitions after the birth of his first son.
He currently stands at 11th in the All around rankings and 3rd in putting average which should stand him in good stead this week.
He has history at the Masters when going into the final round of 2008 in the final pairing only to shoot a 77 and finish 3rd. There were plenty of tears ! Hopefully he can play as well this year without the final round 77.
Here's a recent quote from him which sounds like he is very happy with where he is right now.
"I feel like it's the best I've hit it my whole career, to be honest with you," Snedeker said of his play this season. "I feel like every part of my game is a lot better than it was at any point in my career.
"I just can't quite seem to put it together for four rounds," he said. "That's the easy part. Now it's about playing golf, which is kind of nice when you don't have to go out there and work on your golf swing and worry about what's going on. Just go out there and score."
Overall I feel he has a fair chance this week at odds much bigger than his form,Masters 2008 effort and ratings suggest.
