The 31-year-old is coming off a remarkable seventh-place finish at the OHL Classic.

The golfer who got the most votes among PGATour.com’s experts is Brandt Snedeker. Jonathan Wall and Ben Everill picked him to win this week because of his excellent form of late. Snedeker is fresh off a tournament win at last month’s Fiji International. The Ryder Cup star shot a 16-under-par total of 272 to win the event by a whopping nine strokes. With the way he’s striking the ball right now, it isn’t far-fetched to see Snedeker capture his ninth PGA Tour title this week. He is pegged at +1,400to win the RSM Classic this week.
