I must say, I am becoming a fast fan of Brandt Snedeker, if only because he is everything Tiger Woods is not. Whereas Woods proceeds through a round of golf as if it were a colonoscopy, Snedeker somehow has this silly idea in his head that golf can be fun.
He answers every question earnestly as if he was thrilled you wanted to talk to him. And he’s honest, too: the other day he told reporters he prepared for his round by sitting on the veranda watching the girls go by.
“He’s one of a kind, just a great guy to hang out with,” said Snedeker’s friend, Johnson Wagner, who finished today 2-over par. “If you ever get the chance to have a couple beers with him, it’s a blast.”
At dinner last night a friend who knows the tour well said the best thing that could happen to golf is for Brandt Snedeker to win the Masters, if only because his engaging personality would then be known to the masses.
That’s a crazy thing to say in this Tiger Woods-centric era. I’m starting to think my friend is right.
