A closing 5-under 66 lifted Snedeker to 18-under 266 at Myrtle Beach, giving the 45-year-old his first PGA Tour victory since the 2018 Wyndham Championship.
Back-nine birdies built the winning margin before a bogey at 18, where Snedeker escaped trouble in the right trees and still finished one shot ahead of Mark Hubbard.
Hubbard, chasing his first Tour win in his 274th start, also drove into trouble on the last, pitched out and missed a 25-foot par putt that would have forced a playoff.
The opposite-field victory sends Snedeker to the PGA Championship and gives him a two-year exemption, a major boost after recent seasons spent battling back from sternum surgery.
Beau Hossler and Kevin Roy tied for third at 16-under, while 18-year-old Blades Brown tied for ninth to earn a spot in the CJ Cup Byron Nelson.
