SAN ANTONIO — There’s just something that fits his eye, tickles his fancy, releases any jitters. Whatever it is, the closing stretch at TPC San Antonio’s Oaks Course simply works for Brandt Snedeker.
And as he heads into the final round tied for the lead at the Valero Texas Open, his opponents best beware that they don’t want to tangle with the Tennessee native on the final five holes if things are close.
Snedeker used another hot stretch on the final portion of the card Saturday, posting three birdies on the final five holes to finish his day with a 67. After playing the last five holes in 8 under through the last two days, he now sits at 10 under, tied with J.J. Spaun and former Texas Longhorns Beau Hossler and Dylan Frittelli for the lead.
