Brandt Snedeker hopes to bounce back after Safeway fall as PGA Tour heads to Asia

Nobody needed to spotlight every one of the mix-ups Brandt Snedeker made when, sitting on history's doorstep, he wasted a generous lead in the last round of the PGA Tour's opening demonstration of the 2018-19 season.

He did it without anyone else's help.

Promptly in the wake of losing in a three-man playoff in the Safeway Open — and afterward amid a long voyage over the Pacific Ocean to Malaysia — Snedeker described every one of his miscues and laid the fault soundly on his shoulders.

"I know I'll think back on this one out of a couple of years and know I gave it away," Snedeker said in the wake of neglecting to hang on in the wake of taking a five-shot lead with 11 gaps to play looking for his tenth PGA Tour title. "I didn't conquer a smidgen of affliction. I didn't make a few standards when I have to.

"I expected better of myself. You can state I gagged, you can state whatever. It was bad golf the last nine holes and that is on me."

Rather than turning into the main player since the beginning of the FedExCup in 2007 to win the last normal season occasion the past season and the principal occasion of the new season, Snedeker rather was left searching for answers.
