Missing the cut at The Wyndham Championship was not a positive stroke for the defending 2012 FedEx Cup Champion, but I feel like he has his game back in order after the rib injuries that took him out of contention for over two months. I was a little hesitant to put the third place Snedeker in this post, but if he can get his putter going, he is as good as anyone in the field.

Snedeker started his 2013 season on fire. After finishing third to Dustin Johnson in the wind derby that was The Hyundai this year, he picked up two second place finishes before getting his win at Pebble Beach. He was beaten by Tiger Woods who got his first win of the year at Torrey Pines(one of Tiger’s favorite courses), and The Waste Management Phoenix Open where he lost to Phil Mickelson who had an unbelievable week at his favorite course.

Snedeker finished 23rd at The Humana Challenge where he said he hurt his ribs. He didn’t play as well after he came back from the injury, but would indeed get a second win at the RBC Canadian Open thanks to Hunter Mahan leaving to attend the birth of his first child.
