<p>Needing both a weekend comeback and to hold off Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy to capture the FedEx Cup, Brandt Snedeker was able to complete the feat — capturing the Tour Championship and golf's playoff title in thrilling fashion.</p>
<p>Snedeker, who was in fifth in the FedEx standings coming into the Tour Championship, was also just 2-under through the first two rounds of the final event of the PGA Tour season, but hard charged over the weekend to finish at a 10-under 270 for the tournament. Snedeker finished three strokes ahead of Justin Rose, who finished alone in second place.</p>
<p>Snedeker ends up capturing the FedEx Cup by a comfortable 1,273 points over Rory McIlroy, who finished second. Tiger Woods finished 1,437 behind Snedeker to capture third place. But only Snedeker walks away with the Cup and the $10-million check as the FedEx Cup champion.</p>

<p>Brandt Snedeker continued his weekend momentum on Sunday, carding a 2-under-par 68 to win The TOUR Championship at 10-under-par. Snedeker takes home $1.44 million for winning the tournament, and an additional $10 million for winning the FedEx Cup. Snedeker's first FedEx Cup win doubles his career earnings from $14.6 million to just over $26 million.</p>
<p>Justin Rose, who came into Sunday tied with Snedeker, shot a 1-over-par 71 to finish alone in second place at 7-under. Tiger Woods came in tied for 8th, finishing at 2-under. World no. 1 Rory McIlroy finished at 1-under, but struggled on Sunday with a 4-over-par 74.</p>
<p>Snedeker doesn't have long to enjoy his accomplishments, as he'll join the rest of the United States Ryder Cup team in Chicago on Thursday to take on the Europeans. The tournament will be played at Medinah Country Club.</p>

<p>Brandt Snedeker shot a fantastic 6-under par for the third round of the Tour Championship, which vaulted him all the way to the top of the leaderboard.</p>
<p>Snedeker finished the third round at 8-under par for the tournament, which has him tied with Justin Rose for the lead entering the final round. Rose shot a 2-under par on Saturday.</p>
<p>Ryan Moore also moved up the leaderboard on Saturday, with his 5-under round leaving him at 6-under with one round to go. That score has Moore alone in third place after three rounds of play. Second-round leader Jim Furyk, Rory McIlroy and Bubba Watson are all tied for fourth place, sitting a single stroke behind Moore entering the final round of play.</p>
<p>Tiger Woods shot 3-under for the third round, bouncing back from a Friday that saw him shoot a 73. Woods is tied with a trio of other golfers at 4-under entering Sunday's play. Phil Mickelson went the other way on Saturday, as his 2-over par round saw him drop into a tie for 20th place.</p>
<p>Sunday's final round will be an interesting one, as several golfers could potentially come out on top of the FedEx Cup standings. The projected standings can be found <a target="_blank" href="http://www.pgatour.com/r/stats/current/02394_projections-1.html">here</a>.</p>

<p>Jim Furyk takes a <a href="http://www.pgatour.com/leaderboards/current/r060/">one-stroke lead</a> into third round of the 2012 Tour Championship, which gets underway on Saturday morning. Rory McIlroy, who came into the tournament at the top of the FedExCup standings, is currently in a tie for seventh and <a href="http://www.pgatour.com/r/stats/current/02394_projections-1.html">in position to claim the overall championship</a>. More than half of the field will need him to finish lower than seventh in order to have <a href="http://www.pgatour.com/2012/fedexcup/09/10/winning-scenarios/index.html">a mathematical shot at winning the title</a>.</p>
