“Oh, my gosh, I screamed and just went crazy. We have a lot of friends that are in the music industry … and obviously are huge golfers. I was texting people all morning. Brandt shot 59. Brandt shot 59. It was crazy,” she shared, narrating how the moments unfolded.

Mandy then made the first call to her beloved husband. Sharing Snedeker’s reaction, she added, “He was so excited. You know, golf, it’s crazy. It’s like up and down and he hadn’t been playing that great. But out of nowhere he shoots 59. So, it’s just how the sport rolls.”

The couple has shared many emotional moments. When Snedeker received a phone call in July informing him that he had won the Payne Stewart Award presented by Southern Company in 2024, he got extremely emotional. He was so touched that he cried after receiving the news. His proud wife joked that he might as well get the tears out early, while also adding how being emotional is simply a part of who he is.
