Snedeker A Breath Of Fresh Air At Wyndham

Hello. Congrat to Brandt Snedeker for winning the Wyndham Championship Sunday. It's his first career win and pretty much secures Rookie of the Year honours.
Many people will say the Wyndham was a low calibre event. They're right. Only one player out of the top 50. Pathetic!
Where then are the top players who haven't won this year? Why not go to Wyndham and "cruise" to victory? Why not be "the man" who's sought out for press conferences, or lavished on for making the tournament a priority? I've never understood this.
Snedeker does something which I think will make him a future star - he plays fast. While it is possible to play too fast, it's much easier to play too slow, which I see most players at all levels do. Snedeker plays at John Daly speed, and it's no coincidence both players have had success.
Why don't more players play quickly? Two words - Jack Nicklaus. I think as people forget how slow he was, the PGA Tour may speed up. However, unless a study is done confirming my fast play belief, or Snedeker skyrockets to the top of the money list, the change will be more gradual.
Congrats Brandt!

Regards,
Steve
