World Number 23 and Ryder Cup winning team
member Brandt Snedeker has continued his celebrations claiming the 2016 Fiji
International.

Starting the final round three shots clear
of the field, Snedeker showed his dominance firing rounds of 69, 65, 70, 68 to
win the title by nine shots.

"I couldn’t have asked
for a better start to the day. I birdied the first hole out of the gate," said
Snedeker.

"Being 3-under after
the first six it all kind of went my way and I hit quality golf shots. I just
never really let up."

"I did not expect to
win by nine shots, this golf course is funny, it’s brutal. I knew if I let up
for a second, there could be a big number waiting for me."

"It was about to
happen on 10, I was able to survive there. I kept my head down and kept going
all day long."

Never under threat, Snedeker cruised to an
easy victory at the Natadola Bay Championship Golf Course, however the nerves
were still present.

"There’s always going
to be nerves but I did a great job calming down on the first tee, hitting two
quality shots and then making the putt," added Snedeker.

"I’m very happy with
the comfort level I felt in that situation and never really gave anything back.
I didn’t do anything that would cause myself to lose the tournament."

"I am just building on
a lot of positive stuff right now so it’s a lot of fun"

Following a successful fortnight Snedeker
is eyeing a Major Championship, believing his Fiji experience will help him
achieve his next career goal.

"It’s been a pretty
good two weeks; it would be good if I had a tournament next week. But the week
off will be good, it will give me some time to rest and get my mind right,"
added Snedeker.

"I’ve done a lot of
other stuff in my career and last week propelled that for my career, handling
the pressure like it did."

"Today’s going to help
me too, handling a big lead the way I did. To know that I can handle whatever
golf courses will throw at me against the best players in the world and come
out on top."

"Now it’s just time to
get ready and go and be excited about it."

While Snedeker will celebrate by returning
to his honeymoon destination in Fiji, he still plans on finding time to text
his mate and 2015 Fiji International champion Matt Kuchar.

"I will definitely
send Matt a text when I get off the golf course to let him know that I won,"
added Snedeker.

"I don’t think he won
by nine like I did this year so; I will make sure he knows that."

While Snedeker was well out in front, the
rest of the field were battling for second place.

New Zealander Michael Hendry recorded an
even par round to finish the Fiji International outright second on 7-under the
card.

With this runner-up finish Michael Hendry
has overtaken Matthew Griffin on the ISPS HANDA PGA Tour of Australasia Order
of Merit. He leads by just AU$1,200.74.

A further shot back were Brad Shilton (NZ),
Andrew Evans (NSW), Matthew Giles (NSW), and Anthony Houston (Vic).

Rounding out the top-10 on 5-under the card
were Jake Higginbottom (NSW), Daniel Fox (WA), Matthew Griffin (VIC), Inhoi Hur
(KOR) and Ben Eccles (VIC).

Local hero Vijay Singh finished on 2-under
the card and tied 21st.
