Snead Edges Rodriguez For Irony Laced Philadelphia Win
J C Snead, once paid $200 a month by his former boss Chi Chi Rodriguez, won the $30,000 first prize at Whitemarsh Valley in a dramatic finish. Snead shot 72 to finish 282 six under par, one stroke ahead of Rodriguez who bogeyed the final hole after a miscue on the 18th. Rodriguez finished 74 for 283, failing to force a playoff as gusty conditions and tough greens challenged players all day.
