Brandt Snedeker used an opening-round 59 to jump out to the lead and kept his momentum going through the weekend for the second Wyndham championship of his career. Snedeker fought off Webb Simpson and C.T. Pan, emerging from a three-way tie down the stretch and shot a 259 (21-under) for the tournament.

Snedeker also won the Wyndham in 2007. Pan and Simpson both finished 18-under to tie for second.
