No. 20: Brant Snedeker, Wyndham, -2.57

No. 18 (tie): Beau Hossler, Houston, -2.65

No. 18 (tie): Ian Poulter, Houston, -2.65

No. 17: Ted Potter, AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, -2.67

No. 16: Andrew Landry, Valero, -2.70

Brandt Snedeker opened the Wyndham with a 59 to seize a four-stroke lead and led all the way, winning by three. It was more than a remarkable return to the winner’s circle for a player who had struggled with injuries for a while, he was also significantly better than the rest of the field the entire week.

Hossler and Poulter finished in a playoff for the title at Houston, a setting made even more dramatic by the fact that a berth at the following week’s Masters was on the line. Poulter won the playoff and went on to finish in a tie for 44th at Augusta National. The field average was 279, with 53 players separated by just seven shots, making Houston the season’s most competitive field. Yet the two men lapped that field by three strokes.

Ted Potter trailed Dustin Johnson entering the weekend at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro Am. But Potter fired a third-round 62 to move into contention, then closed with a 69 to beat Day, Johnson, Phil Mickelson and Chez Reavie by three.

Andrew Landry seized the led at the Valero Texas Open with a Saturday 67 then held off Trey Mullinax and Sean O’Hair on Sunday to win by two strokes. It was the 30-year-old Landry’s first Tour victory.
