Brandt Snedeker played one of the best rounds of his career in brutal conditions before the final round of the Farmers Insurance Open was forced into a Monday finish. http:///...ia/air-max-zero.html . Leaderboard Farmers Insurance Open Despite the South Course at Torrey Pines being battered by fierce winds and driving rain for much of Sunday, Snedeker somehow managed to take only 69 shots - three under for the round - to earn the clubhouse lead on six under.Jimmy Walker was the only man ahead of Snedeker when play was abandoned, leaving the course on seven under with eight holes of his final round to complete on Monday. To put Snedekers remarkable effort into context, the other 71 players in the field were a combined 377 over par on the day, with nobody under the card. Brandt Snedeker was the only man to break par with his astonishing effort at Torrey Pines Snedeker, who made just one bogey in 72 holes when he won last years AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, dropped a shot at the first before grinding out eight consecutive pars to turn in 37.The 35-year-old then mounted his astonishing charge with a run of four birdies in five holes, and he parred safely in to set the clubhouse target for the bedraggled pros still trying to come to terms with the conditions. Snedeker defied the wet and windy conditions to fire a 69 on one of the toughest courses on the PGA Tour Luckily my attitude was fantastic all day, said Snedeker, who made all 14 of his putts from 10 feet or less. I wasnt playing great but I made a couple of putts around the turn and that kind of got me going.It was one of those special days. I dont think I could go out there and recreate it and do it again. Im really glad I did it and glad its over with. Ive had crazy stuff happen here before so hopefully I can have it happen again. Snedeker made 14 of 14 putts from 10 feet or less Walker barely hit a fairway on the front nine but limited the damage to dropped shots at the second and seventh before he came close to a hole-in-one at the short eighth, where his sublime tee shot set up a three-foot putt for birdie.Overnight joint-leader KJ Choi is alongside Snedeker on six under and still in contention for his first win since the 2011 Players Championship despite being three over for his final round after 10 holes. Jimmy Walker was the on-course leader when play was abandoned Kevin Streelman and Freddie Jacobson are a further shot adrift with five and seven holes remaining respectively, while JB Holmes is three behind Walker with five holes to complete.Irelands Shane Lowry did well to get round in 73 to close on level par, but his compatriot Paul Dunne was six over for the day and one over for the tournament with two holes remaining.Watch the conclusion of the Farmers Insurance Open live on Sky Sports 4 HD from 4pm on Monday.

James, who turned 29 on Monday, injured his groin Friday during the Heats overtime loss at Sacramento. He sat out the following game, a 108-107 win Saturday in Portland, before coming back to help send the Nuggets to their seventh consecutive loss. http:///...shoes-australia.html . Perhaps Carroll was so prepared for a break because he believes there is very little the Seattle Seahawks need heading into the off-season. "I dont see anything that we need to add. We just have to get better," Carroll said. http:///...oshe-one-breeze.html .C. -- Calgarys Kevin Koe did it the hard way again. AUSTIN, Texas -- Lewis Hamilton took a commanding victory at the U.S. Grand Prix to give his slim championship chances a boost at a crucial point of the season.It was Hamiltons first victory since the German Grand Prix in July and moves him to within 26 points of teammate Nico Rosberg, who secured second despite losing a position to Daniel Ricciardos Red Bull at the start. At one stage it looked as though Hamilton might finish with two Red Bulls between him and Rosberg, but as Max Versatppens race unravelled with a slow pit stop and engine failure, Rosberg capitalised with a free pit stop under a Virtual Safety Car caution period.Rosberg can still win the title by claiming a minimum of two second places and a third place at the remaining three grands prix, but the result brings an end to his run of five races finishing ahead of Hamilton. All Hamilton can do at the remaining races is emulate his impressive form in Austin this weekend and hope Rosberg runs into trouble.Ricciardo held on to third place, but will be frustrated not to come away with more. The Red Bull driver passed Rosberg on the opening lap by getting up the inside of the Mercedes at Turn 1 and completing the pass on the outside of Turn 2. He appeared to have Rosberg covered when he made his second pit stop on lap 25, but Rosberg ran longer into the race on his second stint allowing him to take advantage of Verstappens failure on lap 33.Verstappen had been closing on Rosberg at the start of the second stint, but ultimately did not have the pace to pass. In his eagerness to switch to fresh tyres for his final stint, the 19-year-old pitted before his team had called him in and he arrived in an empty pit box with no one to greet him. The mistake shuffled him behind both Ferraris but it proved to be irrelevant when a grinding sound from his Renault engine brought him to a halt just four laps later.The stricken Red Bull brought out a Virtual Safety Car period, requiring drivers to slow their pace to a predefined lap time and hold track positioon. http:///...-max-tailwind-7.html. By pitting under the Virtual Safety Car, Rosberg was able to make his stop while Ricciardo was going slow on track and therefore lost less time than he would have in normal racing conditions. The Mercedes emerged from the pits 2.5s ahead of Ricciardo, an advantage he grew to 15.1s by the end of the race.Kimi Raikkonen would have been in an interesting battle for fourth with Ferrari teammate Sebastian Vettel had it not been for a loose wheel nut at his final stop. The Finn was on an aggressive three-stop strategy of super-soft, soft, super-soft, super-soft, but at the final visit to the pits he was given the green light to go before the right rear had been properly attached. His race came to an end 500 metres later at the exit of the pit lane under orders from the Ferrari pit wall. The incident allowed Vettel to take a lonely fourth place at the end of the race, 23.4s off Ricciardo.With a routine second half of the race at the front of the field, Fernando Alonso provided the entertainment for COTAs large crowd. In the final 29 laps the McLaren driver fought his way from ninth place to fifth at the finish. The impressive drive came with two bolshie overtaking moves at the end of the race as he barged past Felipe Massa on lap 52, before running off the road as he lunged past Carlos Sainz for fifth place on the penultimate lap.The contact with Massa led to a puncture on the Williams and the Brazillian finished seventh behind the Toro Rosso of Sainz. Sergio Perez took eighth for Force India after recovering from a spin on the first lap when he was tagged by the second Toro Rosso of Daniil Kvyat. Jenson Button took ninth place for McLaren ahead of Romain Grosjean, who secured the last point on offer for American team Haas.The title battle continues in one week south of the boarder in Mexico, where Rosberg started a run of seven consecutive victories 12 months ago.
