Brandt Snedekder wins the top prize of $10m (£7m) in the FedEx Cup following a three-shot victory at the Tour Championship in Atlanta, Georgia.

Brandt Snedekder has won the FedEx Cup with a three-shot victory at the Tour Championship in Atlanta, Georgia.

The win means that the American has got his hands on both the $1.4m (£860,000) top prize from the tournament itself at the East Lake Gold Course and the $10m (£7m) from topping the FedEx Cup standings.

Despite a double bogey on the sixth, Snedeker carded a two-under-par 68 to end the tournament on 10-under.

Justin Rose had looked in contention to finish top of the leaderboard, but three bogeys left the Englishman on seven-under.

Rose's fellow countryman Luke Donald joined American Ryan Moore a shot further back, while a round of 72 for Tiger Woods gave the former world number one a total of two-under.

Current world number one Rory McIlroy blew his chances of the lucrative FedEx Cup bounty by carding a 74 to leave him on one-under.
