Brandt Snedeker fires 5-under 65 to lead Vivint Houston Open

HOUSTON – Brandt Snedeker found a lot of fairways and greens at difficult Memorial Park, top-ranked Dustin Johnson returned from the coronavirus, and fans were back, too, Thursday at the Houston Open.

Snedeker shot a 5-under 65 in the afternoon to take a two-stroke lead in the last event before the Masters. He's one of 37 players in the field this week set to play at Augusta National.

"Drove it great,'' Snedeker said. "Around this golf course you have to be in the fairway, otherwise it's going to be a long day for you. Did a great job of that.
