th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\u201cOne of the good things about being old out here is you\u2019ve probably played most of the places,\u201d said Snedeker, 45. \u201cI do remember the golf course pretty well.\u201d<\/p>\n
Last week was Snedeker\u2019s first PGA Tour victory since the 2018 Wyndham Championship, which seemed apropos considering he used a driver from 2017 in Myrtle Beach that had been languishing in his garage for years.<\/p>\n
\u201cI guess I\u2019m old school, when I find a driver I like I always kind of stick with it. But I\u2019d been struggling with my driver, don\u2019t really hit it far anymore, but felt like I had a couple misses that weren\u2019t that bad but ended up in bad spots,\u201d he said. \u201cI took that one and tested it, it\u2019s a little shorter than the one I was playing ball-speed wise, but the dispersion is so much better. I thought I could swing freely with it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Snedeker estimated it was one of about 75 drivers that are collecting dust in his garage and he first put it back in play at last month\u2019s Zurich Classic.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re all sicko\u2019s out here, we\u2019re all golf nerds,\u201d he said. \u201cI was just trying to find something that can find the fairway, I\u2019m not winning any long-drive contests.\u201d<\/p>\n
