Brandt Snedeker is a different breed of golfer.  He plays fast.  He’s a wizard on the greens.  He doesn’t think he’s a great ball-striker yet.  And after years of watching Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson bomb drives, he’s taken inspiration from Jim Furyk, David Toms and Steve Stricker.
