Brandt Snedeker fired a five-under par 66 in Sunday's final round to win the PGA Tour Myrtle Beach Classic and snap an eight-year win drought.

The 45-year-old American, captain of the United States Presidents Cup team, captured his 10th US PGA Tour title and first since 2018 at Greensboro.

"Pretty surreal," Snedeker said. "It's really hard to win out here, so to be able to do it again at my age, at 45, is something super special, something I'm very proud of."

Snedeker finished 72 holes on 18-under 266 at Dunes Golf and Beach Club in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, to defeat countryman Mark Hubbard by one stroke after Hubbard made a bogey at the 18th hole.

Snedeker earned PGA Tour playing rights for the next two seasons, saying, "It's such a cool feeling to know I'll be at it for a couple more years."

But Snedeker made it clear he is not considering being a playing captain for the Americans in September at Medinah against a non-European Internationals side.

"I'm definitely not going to play in the Presidents Cup. Let's not get ahead of ourselves here," Snedeker said.

He will, however, delay a planned trip to Medinah in order to compete at the PGA Championship at Aronimink, his first major start since sharing 19th at the 2021 British Open.

"Was supposed to go up to the site next week. That's going to get pushed back," he said. "I'm excited to go up there and see the guys. It's fun to be back in a major. Let's hope I can keep the momentum going."

Snedeker birdied four of the last seven holes but made his only bogey on the 18th hole, the course's hardest.

"Eighteen was a disaster," he said. "Did a lot of great things before 18 to give myself a chance."

Hubbard, still seeking his first PGA victory, made his third birdie in four holes at 15 to reach 19-under but a three-putt bogey at 16 left him level for the lead.

At 18, Hubbard found the right rough, punched into the fairway and missed a par putt from just inside 25 feet to hand Snedeker the victory.

Americans Beau Hossler and Kevin Roy shared third on 268 with England's Aaron Rai fifth on 270.

Most top PGA Tour players were at this week's signature event at Quail Hollow.
