Tight battle to get top-50 invite into the Masters

NASSAU, Bahamas – A year ago, Brandt Snedeker made a last-ditch effort to secure a spot in the Masters by flying halfway around the world to play in the Indonesia Masters with hopes of getting into the top 50 by the end of the year.

He withdrew after a 72, ended the year at No. 59 and wound up missing the Masters for the first time since 2010.

That won't be a problem this year because Snedeker won the Wyndham Championship. Charles Howell III won't be consumed about getting back to the Masters because he won the final PGA Tour event of the year at the RSM Classic.
