Any questions if Brandt Snedeker could regain his same touch after dealing with a sternum injury in 2017 were put to rest with his win at the Wyndham Championship.

It’s been a resurgent year for Sneds as he piled up four top-10s including two in his last five starts (all made cuts).

This will be his first trip to the Safeway Open since 2015 where he finished T17 and played his final three rounds in 11-under.

Snedeker was his usual self on the greens last season, finishing 18th in strokes gained putting. He’s also 22nd in sand save percentage, which is a stat to keep an eye on at this week’s heavily-bunkered venue.

With some time off since the BMW Championship, he’s a good pick to keep it rolling.
