America’s Brandt Snedeker carded the 10th sub-60 round in PGA Tour history with an opening 59 in the Wyndham Championship in North Carolina yesterday.

Brandt Snedeker will make his first appearance since June in the RSM Classic in Sea Island, but admits he is still in pain from the chest injury which ruined his season.

Brandt Snedeker claimed glory in the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines as his competitors were unable to match his superb performance in the delayed final round.
