By moving from #33 to #22 on the FedEx list today, Brandt put himself in a good position to go to East Lake for the final tournament. They still have to play at Medinah next week. Brandt had a chance to win on Sunday. Tied for the lead on the back nine for a short time. But narrowly missed putts and...

Casali (Reds) is currently on the DL, but he is having a good year.
Go Vandy!

Brandt Snedeker on Sunday capped off a fine weekend at the Rocket Mortgage Tournament in Detroit. Finished with a 5 under 67 for a minus 17 total. Played the last three rounds bogey free (69, 65, 67). Hitting his driver pretty straight and putting great. He should finish in the top 5 or so in this e...

When Kumar Rocker was 6-5 with an ERA around four in mid-May, Corbin had faith in his freshman right-hander. He walked too many batters and was being tagged for some fat innings. Corbin never wavered. Looks like that faith was well placed. Brownie worked with Kumar and the pitcher we see now is thro...

I listened to the whole game on ESPN. Rarely heard the whistler and when I did it was very minor. My wife heard him once. No problem with me. Great win for Vandy boys. Fellows, Brown, Infante, Martin - lots of heroes. Get some more. Go Vandy!

This morning, FM 102.5 had some good commentary on the Vandy baseball wins. Willie Daunic went to the games and had special insight. Very complimentary of Kumar Rocker and the team. Also complementary of the Duke pitcher Jarvis who opposed Rocker Saturday night. Jarvis went to Brentwood Academy. Lat...

Special round indeed. Today in the second round of the Canadian Open, Brandt fired a cool, 10 under par 60. 31 on his first nine and 29 on the back. 8 birdies and one eagle. No bogeys. Rough estimate is that he made around 115 feet of putts. Several short birdie putts. The day is early, but right no...

Give a lot of credit to Austin Martin. A very gritty player. Has not been hitting the ball well the last few games, but he makes two incredible catches on spinning popups near the 3B tarp in the 9th. I don't know how he twisted to make the last one - but he did. Then with two outs, he works a walk a...

VU 8th: Phillip Clarke with a triple to drive in Martin and Bleday. Vandy takes an 11-10 lead. King gets the Cats 3 up, 3 down in the 8th. Vandy then gets 5 more in the ninth to take a 16-10 lead. Scott and Martin each have four hits. The 90 minute rain delay at the end of the 7th gave the Vandy Boy...

tough day for Brandt. Had his chances, but had some unlucky bounces. Needs to have a good day on Friday. As you say, he battled back and then a ball in the water on 16. Go Vandy!!

Brandt Snedeker shot a 66 (-4)in the first round of the Sony Hawaiian Open. Drove the ball very well and made some putts. Long way to go in this tournament, but a great start by Brandt. Go Vandy!!

Not 100 % sure, but I think Brandt is playing in the Australian Open November 15-18. Go Vandy!

Good for Brandt. Lots of pressure on him to hold the lead for three days after the 59. Played like a champ. He hit the ball well all week. Hit lots of greens and came close on many, many birdie putts (the ones he did not make). The bermuda rough on the Greensboro course was thick and wiry - causing ...

This morning, in the first round of the Wyndham Golf Championship (Greensboro, NC), Brandt Snedeker fired a sizzling 59 (32-27). He actually bogeyed his first hole and did not birdie until #4. Then he was on fire. Birdies on 4, 5, 6, 7, then 10, 11, 12, 14, Eagle on 15, then birdies on 16 and 18. Wh...

Brandt is playing better, but he is not "Top 50" in the world yet. That is the qualifier for this week's tourney. Hopefully he will do well in the PGA tournament next week. Go Vandy!

Game # 2 (first one vs Clemson) was very tense. VU was down 0-3, and tied it on Paul's opposite field HR. From that point on, the game was extremely tight. Kaiser's single plated the go-ahead run and Vandy hung on for a tough, 4-3 win. Relief pitching was excellent. Lots of very good defensive plays...

The cut was established at -4, so Brandt did not make the cut at -3. Hopefully he can qualify for the US Open.

Brandt Snedeker fired a four under par 67 today in the first round of the AT&T Byron Nelson tournament in Dallas. 7 birdies and 3 bogies. Brandt birdied the last four holes, including the 505 yard par 4 ninth hole. Great start for Brandt. Hope he does well the next three rounds. Go Vandy!

CJdore: thanks for posting. I was wondering how they would respond today. Let's hope they win it all. They have the players. Thanks again. Go Vandy!!

Brandt and Tiger are friends. They are Ryder Cup buddies and have played together a lot. Today Brandt handled the pressure and enormous crowds well. He is hitting his irons really well now. Let's hope Brandt has a super day on Sunday and stuns everyone.
