Snedeker moves off Ryder Cup bubble in Canada

While several big names took a week off in between major championships, Brandt Snedeker used the RBC Canadian Open to make a move in the U.S. Ryder Cup standings.

Snedeker carried a one-shot lead into the final round at Glen Abbey before ultimately finishing in a tie for fifth. While he didn't earn his second win of the season, his $207,237 payday was enough to move him past Bubba Watson and Brooks Koepka to No. 6 in the Ryder Cup standings. Matt Kuchar (T-9) also passed Koepka to move into the eighth and final automatic qualifying position.
