Brandt Snedeker has won on the PGA Tour in three of the last four years. The one he didn’t was an injury-shortened 2017.

Sneds is one of the Tour’s more consistent forces and is honing in on picking up his first W of 2019, looking for it at the Rocket Mortgage Classic.

He finished T5 back in March at the Players and recently picked up a T4 at the Canadian Open. The 38-year-old has made six cuts in a row entering the Rocket Mortgage Classic with a T43 in his last start at the Travelers.

Snedeker’s won on a Donald Ross course before at the 2012 Tour Championship. I like his creativity around the greens to shine at Detroit Golf Club as well.

The Vanderbilt alum is third on Tour in strokes gained around the green and 11th in SG putting.

Snedeker has struggled off the tee in recent years, but if this short course allows him to keep driver in the bag often, it’ll be a big boost.

This is his fourth week in a row teeing it up, but looking at his recent results, that’s not uncommon for a rhythm player like him.
