TOUR CHAMPIONSHIP WINNER Brandt Snedeker moved into the top 10 of the men’s world golf rankings following his victory on Sunday.
Snedeker claimed the $10 million on offer at the East Lake Golf Course with a three-stroke win ahead of Justin Rose.
The American’s triumph also saw him clinch the overall FedEx Cup and crack the top 10 for the first time in his career after starting the week as world number 18. Rose, meanwhile, jumped from ninth to fifth on the official rankings – also a career-high for him.
The Englishman, who secured a fifth top-five finish of the season on Sunday, was the only other top-10 player to enhance his position.
