ATLANTA: Brandt Snedeker held off a late charge by fellow American Ryan Moore to win the season-ending Tour Championship on Sunday by three shots along with FedExCup honours.

Tied for the lead overnight with Britain’s Justin Rose in the PGA Tour’s final playoff event, Snedeker birdied three of the last six holes to clinch his fourth title on the US circuit, the second this year.

Snedeker signed off with a two-under-par 68 at East Lake Golf Club for a 10-under total of 270.

“This has been an unbelievable week,” Snedeker smiled after being presented with the two trophies. “At the end of the day, I had complete confidence of what I was doing out here.”

Englishman Rose, playing with Snedeker in the final pairing on a difficult day for scoring in breezy conditions, finished in second on a 71.

World number one Rory McIlroy and second-ranked Tiger Woods, who like Snedeker had victory in their sights to complete the FedExCup ‘double’, both finished poorly.

McIlroy, winner of the two previous playoff events, hit only two of 14 fairways on the way to a 74 and a share of 10th place.

Woods, who has twice landed FedExCup honours, closed with an erratic 72 to finish joint eighth at two under. (Reuters)
