Brandt Snedeker has news for anyone who thinks that the 2013 golf season is going to belong to Rory McIlroy, Tiger Woods or Phil Mickelson.

Snedeker is simply on fire. Yes, he won the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, firing a 19-under par 267, beating runner-up Chris Kirk by two strokes. That score broke the tournament record that had been held by Phil Mickelson (2007) and Mark O'Meara (1997) who both shot 268.

That might be a problem for those who want to see the return of Big Three Golf with McIlroy, Woods and Mickelson, but that's not Snedeker's problem.



He is simply an excellent golfer on a roll and he doesn't have to face limits to how good he could be this season...or beyond.

It's a disservice to say that Snedeker is a hot golfer. With that description, you get the feeling that Snedeker is playing over his head.

Snedeker may simply be a great golfer.

He has strung together 33-of-37 under par rounds in...
