DUBLIN, Ohio – Even for Brandt Snedeker – who has endured an outsized number of surgical procedures and medical setbacks in his career – the last eight months have pushed the boundaries of his professional resolve, not to mention modern medicine.
Every week on the PGA Tour the fitness trailers are crowded with players dealing with all manner of injuries but Snedeker’s return to action this week at the Memorial is, by definition, unprecedented.
The technical term for the surgery that returned Snedeker to Tour is Manubrium Joint Stabilization, but it’s nearly impossible to find any research on the procedure.
