Brandt Snedeker fired a 7-under 65 on Sunday and picked up a 2-stroke win at the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. The win was Snedeker's fourth victory since the start of the 2011 season. He will move to No. 4 in the world rankings on Monday.
Chris Kirk carded a 6-under 66 at Pebble Beach to grab second place at
minus-17.
James Hahn, who shared the third-round lead with Snedeker, managed a 2-under
70 on Sunday. He was joined in third place at 14-under-par 272 with Jimmy
Walker (66) and Kevin Stadler (65).
Jason Day closed with a 67 and ended alone in sixth at minus-13.
Mickelson, last year's winner, had four birdies, two bogeys and a double-bogey
in an even-par round of 72. He finished tied for 60th at 1-under-par 285.
The reigning FedExCup champ erased that mistake with a 26-foot birdie effort
at 10. Snedeker made it two in a row with a birdie on No. 11 and that pushed
his lead to four.
Snedeker cruised to five straight pars before converting a 10-footer for
birdie at 17. He 2-putted for par from 30 feet out at the last to seal the
victory.
Snedeker was the eighth player since 1990 to finish runner-up in back-to-back
weeks on the PGA Tour, but no player won the third week. Mark Calcavecchia did
take second in three consecutive weeks in 1990.
