Stumbling Snedeker: 'Really gave that one away'

It's hard to win on the PGA Tour, and no one is more aware of that maxim than Brandt Snedeker.

Snedeker appeared to have things on cruise control at the Safeway Open, torching the North Course at Silverado Resort & Spa en route to a three-shot lead entering the final round. That advantage grew to five shots with just 11 holes to play, at which point his game promptly fell apart.

The veteran made three straight back-nine bogeys to bring a number of players back into the fold, and seemingly lost control of his swing while missing a number of greens with short irons or wedges in hand.
