Snedeker, Rose lead Tour Championship

ATLANTA -- Brandt Snedeker had one of his best rounds of the year, a 6-under 64 yesterday that gave him a share of the lead at the Tour Championship. It could turn out to be a round worth $10 million.

Snedeker, in control of his game despite increasing wind at tree-lined East Lake, made a collection of tough putts and used his short game to pick up a couple of other birdies to wind up atop the leaderboard with Justin Rose, who also played bogey-free for a 68.

Today is the final day of the FedEx Cup, and it never has been more up for grabs among so many top players.

Rory McIlroy had a 68 -- his 11th consecutive round in the 60s -- and was three shots behind. Tiger Woods salvaged an important par after bouncing a shot off a Georgia pine and had a 67 that put him four shots behind.

McIlroy, Woods and Snedeker were among the top five seeds coming into the Tour Championship, meaning they only have to win today to claim the FedEx Cup title and its $10 million bonus, the richest prize in golf.

They won't be the only players with a chance to win at least one trophy -- the Tour Championship. Rose will be in the final group with Snedeker, and while it's unlikely he can win the FedEx Cup, the Englishman surely would settle for his second win of the year against a strong field. Snedeker and Rose were at 8-under 202.

Ryan Moore spoiled his round with a bogey on the 17th and still had a 65, putting him alone in third at 6-under 204. Jim Furyk, the 36-hole leader, had a triple bogey on the 17th and shot 72. He is at 205.
