Showdown, Week 30: Hunter Mahan vs. Brandt Snedeker

So in an attempt to inject a bit more life and interest into tournaments, and because we're all inveterate gamblers who are one bad card from being out on the streets, Jay Busbee and I are playing a golf version of a football suicide pool: We each pick one golfer per tournament and see how they do against each other, straight up. Victory over the other guy gets one point, victory in the tournament gets three points, and a tie lands you half a point. (Double for the majors.) And when we burn a golfer, he's done for the year. We turn our attention to the RBC Canadian Open.
Wall: This feels like a good spot to take Hunter Mahan, who already has two wins this season and hasn't finished outside the top-20 in his last three starts. Plus, Hamilton Golf and Country Club is a tight track where hitting fairways and greens is a must. He currently leads the PGA Tour in ball-striking, ranks ninth in driving accuracy and third in greens in regulation. I think this course should be right in his wheelhouse.
Busbee: I'm taking Brandt Snedeker. I've got a feeling the kid's got a bit of game in him, and he's going to bust out big one of these days ... what? Why are you laughing at me? Nah, of course, after his almost-breakout performance at Royal Lytham, he's primed for a solid followup, and I think he'll have it this week at the RBC Canadian. Unlike Adam Scott, Snedeker fell apart early enough that he may be able to recover without therapy ... and that recovery starts this week.
Last week: Wall picked up two points (majors wins are worth double) last week with a T-3 fromTiger Woods at the British Open. Lee Westwood, Busbee's pick, didn't fare so well at Royal Lytham and St Annes, finishing T-45.
Current score: Wall - 9.0, Busbee - 8.0.

Golf-Stallings seals second tour win in True South

(Reuters) - Scott Stallings claimed his second career PGA Tour win with a two-stroke victory in the True South Classic in Madison, Mississippi on Sunday.

Stallings, 27, from Worcester, Massachusetts, shot a four-under par 68 in his fourth round to finish 24-under for the tournament, two strokes clear of Jason Bohn.

Birdies on the 16th and 17th were crucial to Stallings' victory which comes almost a year after his maiden win at the Greenbrier Classic and after he missed six weeks of his sophomore season with a torn rib cartilage.

"To be able to be up here after the year I have had with injuries is pretty special," said Stallings, whose win came in a week where he found out his wife Jennifer is pregnant with their first child.

Stallings was remarkably consistent throughout in the badly rain-affected tournament and it wasn't until the 14th hole that he made his first bogey since the first round, to allow Bohn to move within a stroke.

The rain delays over the past three days at Annandale Golf Cclub meant players had to start early to finish their third rounds in the morning and then played in groups of three in the final round.

But while that meant spectators were treated to watching the top three compete directly, Stallings never lost his grip.

"We just couldn't put enough pressure on him," said Bohn, who carded a five-under 67 to claim his fourth runners-up finish of his career

"He made the putts when he needed to make the putts, he hit the ball fantastically well," said Billy Horschel whose third place was the best finish of his career. (Reporting By Simon Evans; Editing by John Mehaffey)
