Brandt Snedeker is spending this week in Maui. No, not playing golf. The PGA Tour star is taking a well-deserved family vacation. Life is good. For Snedeker, its great. He is one of the hottest golfers in the game right now. Numbers dont lie. The former Montgomery Bell Academy and Vanderbilt golfer has played five tournaments this season. He won the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am Sunday by two strokes. He jumped from sixth to fourth in the World rankings, trailing only Rory McIlroy, Tiger Woods and Luke Donald. Snedeker has put 10 straight rounds together in the 60s. Sixteen of his 19 rounds have been in the 60s. He is an incredible 82 strokes under par in the five tournaments. Its just hard to put into words, to have a stretch of golf like I had the last couple of months, something you dream about, something you think that you can do, but you dont really know until you actually put it together and I have, Snedeker said in a press conference after winning the fifth PGA Tour tournament in his career. If its consistency you value, dont go any further than Snedekers start this season. He was third at the Tournament of Champions with rounds of 70-70-69. He tied for 23rd at Humanas tournament at PGA West with rounds of 67-68-67-67. Thats 19-under par. The last three tournaments have really boosted Snedekers confidence, not to mention his bank account. He finished second to Tiger Woods at Torrey Pines. He was second the next week to Phil Mickelson at Phoenix. With a closing round 65 Sunday, he played Pebble Beach in 19-under par. With a birdie on the par-3 No. 17 hole Sunday, Snedeker went to the 18th tee with a two shot lead. Patiently waiting out a delay, Snedeker took time to let the moment sink in. Theres not a much better place to be on the planet with a two-shot lead on that tee box, Snedeker said. It was a nice feeling. It didnt hurt that Snedeker was playing with Nashville businessman Toby Wilt all week. Wilt endowed a golf scholarship at Vanderbilt. The first recipient was Snedeker. The fact they got to take the pro-am trophy home after tying for first was icing on the cake. We played hundreds of rounds of golf together, Snedeker said of Wilt, who played football and golf at Vanderbilt. He knew what to say when I was kind of hurting and not playing my best and he knew what to say when I was playing great. We had a lot of fun talking about everything but what we were doing. I wanted to make sure that we both walked out of here with a trophy and for us to do that was a very special thing. The two will be reunited in April at the Masters, a tournament Snedeker would rather win than any other. Wilt, an Augusta National member, announces the pairings on the first tee. Its the site of Snedekers biggest disappointment and hes looking forward to making it his biggest achievement. Ive gone in there in the past thinking I can contend. This year Im going in knowing that I can contend and knowing that winning is not a farfetched idea, he said. Its very much a reality.

LEBANON Station Camps freshman boys rolled into the District 9-AAA Tournament final on Saturday at 15-0. Unfortunately for the Bison, they left Lebanon High School at 15-1 after a 52-39 defeat to the host Blue Devils in a meeting of the top two seeds. The Bison kept it close in the first half, trailing 14-12 after one and 2725 at the break. Station Camp was still within striking distance as the third quarter closed, entering the last eight minutes down 39-32. However, the final two minutes of the third forecasted the remainder of the game for the Bison. They
were 0-for-5 from the field to end the quarter and 0-for-7 to begin the final quarter. Austin Kirbys bucket with 1:57 remaining was the first field goal in nine minutes for Station Camp. Lebanon did not do much better 2-for-12 in the fourth but those two field goals along with technical free throws in a span of 30 seconds pushed the lead from 39-32 to 4532. Give them a lot of credit; they were better than we were today, Station Camp coach Caleb Cook said. Thats how it goes sometimes. You
win by the shot, die by the shot and a lot of times we hit those shots. Today we didnt for whatever reason. In the first two meetings against Lebanon, Station Camp scored wins by 14 and 15 points. The Blue Devils did not have Yalen Reed in either of those contests. Reed, who has played on the varsity squad this season, had a distinct size advantage over everyone on the court. And he used it well. Although the scorebook reads seven points, it does not tell of how many second-chance opportunities he gave his team on the offensive glass. They did a good job pressuring and we never got into a rhythm offensively and that hurt us. We missed a lot of shots; we missed a
