MONTREAL - Its been a rough season for Brandt Snedeker but the 2012 Fed Ex Cup champion hopes to have his game ready to defend his RBC Canadian Open title in July. Nike Air Max Axis Baratas . Snedekers best result so far this year is a tie for eighth place at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in March. He sits 113th in FedEx Cup standings and has dropped to 31st in world rankings — not the results expected from a player ranked fourth in the world only two years ago. "My golf game is not quite where I want it but Im getting closer," Snedeker said Monday on a conference call. "I have another month to get ready." The Canadian Open returns to Royal Montreal for the 10th time July 24-27. It will be the 60th anniversary of the last victory by a Canadian at the national open. The courses club pro Pat Fletcher won in 1954. Tournament director Bill Paul announced that Snedeker, Ernie Els, Graeme McDowell, Luke Donald, Matt Kuchar, Jim Furyk and Hunter Mahan as well as Canadians Graham DeLaet, Mike Weir, David Hearn and Stephen Ames will be there. Snedeker is confident he will find his best game soon. "I go through peaks and valleys," the Nashville, Tenn., native said. "Im not a very consistent player, but you have to ride through the rough patches. "I feel Ive ridden the rough patches out and I feel a hot patch should start soon. Id love to play my best all year, but you have to have the mental fortitude to fight through it." He is entering perhaps the most important part of the schedule, with the U.S. Open at Pinehurst in North Carolina June 12-15 and the British Open at Royal Liverpool in July, followed immediately by the Canadian Open. Snedeker plans to play 10 of the next 12 weeks. Last years Canadian Open victory at Glen Abbey near Toronto was his sixth PGA Tour win and was particularly special because his caddy Scott Vail, is from Oshawa, Ont. "I felt a lot of pressure last year on Sunday trying to pull it out for him," Snekeder said of his caddy of the last eight years, who got to take the Canadian flag from the 18th pin home as a souvenir. "Hes been a good friend for a lot of years." He caught a break when tournament leader Mahan pulled out after two rounds to be with is wife as she delivered a baby. "Golf is a funny thing, you never know whats going to happen," he said. "Any time you win you have breaks go your way. "It gave me a chance and when it happened, I took advantage of it." Snedeker has a strong history at the Canadian Open. He tied for seventh at his first one in 2007, when he was PGA Tour rookie of the year, and tied for fifth in 2009. Hes never played at Royal Montreal, an old-style, tree-lined course in Ile-Bizard, Que., but said he saw it on TV as the Americans defeated the World team in the 2007 Presidents Cup and is looking forward to trying out its Blue course.

Cincinnati hasnt won a playoff game since the 1990 season, which ties for the sixth-longest such stretch in NFL history.Although hes gotten his team to the playoffs in each of his four seasons, Daltons legacy so far is more about how hes fallen apart in the biggest games. Hell have another chance to change his reputation on Sunday when the Bengals (10-5-1) play at Indianapolis (11-5).Winning in general is how quarterbacks are judged, Dalton said on Wednesday. If you win a lot in the regular season but you havent won a lot in the post-season, then theyre going to say that you couldnt do something.Theres always going to be something that you havent done or couldnt do, he said. Thats just the nature of it.During the regular season, Dalton has been as good as anyone in Bengals history. Hes won 63 per cent of his games, the best by a Bengals quarterback. He and Baltimores Joe Flacco are the only quarterbacks to lead their teams to the playoffs in each of their first four seasons during the Super Bowl era.Flacco won a Super Bowl. Dalton has yet to win anything in the post-season.

During the last five games, hes thrown seven interceptions and had a game-turning fumble on a handoff.As Ive said, this is still a process, offensive co-ordinator Hue Jackson said. I think hes done some really good things; I think there are some plays he wishes he had back.But hes a seasoned, veeteran player whos been in this situation before and now its time to come out on the other side of it, Jackson added.

So he understands the environment were going into, he understands all the elements that are laid before him — I think our whole team does.The Bengals had their worst offensive showing of the season at Indianapolis on Oct. 19, failing to cross midfield until the fourth quarter during a 27-0 loss, their first shutout in five years. With receiver A.J. Green sidelined by an injured right big toe, Dalton completed only 18 of 38 for 126 yards and was sacked three times.Its unclear whether Green will be available for the rematch. He got a concussion during a loss to Pittsburgh on Sunday night and was held out of practice on Wednesday. He has to pass concussion tests before he can practice or play.Daltons teammates have tried to take some of the focus off the quarterbacks post-season failures by sharing the blame.All of us have lost together, left tackle Andrew Whitworth said on Wednesday. The truth of the matter is, its not a negative to be in the playoffs every year. Thats a positive. Its just the negative is not taking advantage of the opportunity.So it means youve done a lot to get there every single year, he said. Now lets take advantage of that opportunity, and thats whats great about the playoffs.NOTES: Tight end Jermaine Gresham also sat out practice on Wednesday with a sore back. ...
