ATLANTA (AP) --Brandt Snedeker played the round of his life and claimed the biggest payoff in golf.
Snedeker, a native of Nashville, needed to win the Tour Championship to beat out Rory McIlroy for the FedEx Cup. He made three big birdies on the back nine at East Lake en route to a 2-under-par 68 to finish 10-under for the tournament, three strokes better than runner-up Justin Rose.
Snedeker collects $1.44 million for winning his second title of the year. And he won $10 million for capturing the FedEx Cup, which comes with a five-year exemption on the PGA Tour.
McIlroy and Tiger Woods, both of whom could have won the FedEx Cup with a victory Sunday, faded early and were never a factor.

2 appellate court judges are stepping down
May 24, 2013 21:29 GMT
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Two Tennessee appellate court judges have notified Gov. Bill Haslam that they will not run for another term on the bench in the August 2014 retention election.
Patricia J. Cottrell, a judge on the Court of Appeals, and Joseph M. Tipton, who sits on the Court of Criminal Appeals bench, will both leave after September of next year.
The announcements come after the state legislature left Tennessee without a way to replace judges who step down or die when a commission expires at the end of next month.
Members of the soon-to-be-defunct Judicial Nominating Commission will make recommendations for replacements to give to Haslam before the panel expires. Haslam will appoint the replacements from those recommendations.
