Brandt Snedeker knew his best chance to be the FedExCup champion was to win the TOUR Championship, no simple task with East Lake as tough as ever and Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods going after the same prize.
Snedeker was the only player in the last five groups to break par.
He answered the final challenge with three big birdies on the back nine, building such a big lead that his final tee shot sailed into the grandstands to the left of the 18th green and it didn't even matter. Snedeker still closed with a 2-under 68 for a three-shot win in the TOUR Championship, and a $10 million bonus for winning the FedExCup.
His pay day...$11.4 million !!!
Rory 74 and Tiger 72 were out of it early, both well over par after 6 holes. Justin Rose 71 was 2nd, Luke Donald 67 and Ryan Moore 70 were 3rd..

Stacy Lewis started slow, but finished strong on Sunday to claim her third victory of the season at the Navistar LPGA Classic. The 27-year-old Texan carded a final-round 69 to edge defending champion Lexi Thompson by two shots and complete the “Alabama Slam” with victories this season at the Mobile Bay LPGA Classic and today in Prattville.

French Riviera Masters,

Red-hot Russell wins French Riviera Masters
Englishman David J Russell put on a golfing master-class to win the French Riviera Masters, beating American Tim Thelen in a play-off after a brilliant 65 in the final round at Terre Blanche Resort and Golf Club.
The 58 year old needed three holes to win in sudden death, with both players twice making par at the 18th before Thelen bogeyed at the third attempt. That was his first dropped shot in 39 holes – two rounds of 66 taking him to eight under and tied for the lead in regulation play – but it handed the title to his rival, who made another four.
For much of the day it had looked to be Roger Chapman’s day, but there was late drama when the Englishman bogeyed the 16th and 18th to slip back to seven under with a 71. However, his consolation prize was that he now has an unassailable lead at the top of the Order of Merit and will be crowned Europe’s Number One after a remarkable season which has featured two Senior Major Championship victories

Julien Brun became the sixth amateur in history to win on the Challenge Tour after securing a nail-biting triumph at the ALLIANZ Golf Open Toulouse Metropole.
The Challenge Tour debutant delighted the sizeable crowd who had gathered at a windswept Golf de Toulouse-Seilh, in south west France, by following in the footsteps of his compatriot Romain Wattel, who won the ALLIANZ Europen Strasbourg as an amateur two years ago.
In an astonishingly mature performance which betrayed very few signs of his inexperience, Brun closed with a round of 70 for a 13 under par aggregate total and a one shot victory over Matteo Delpodio.
