Webb Simpson has easily established himself in the past 2 years as one of the top players on the PGA Tour without a victory. He has suffered close call after close call for the past 24 months.
He’s had leads, only to get called by some bogus penalty. He’s been right in the thick of things on the final day, only to come up just short each time.
Well ladies and gentlemen, he’s not on that short list anymore. You can now call Webb Simpson a PGA Tour winner.
Webb shot a final round 67 (3 under par) to claim his first victory at the Wyndham Championship by three shots. His total of -18 bested the scores of -15 and -14 that were put together by George McNeill and Tommy Gainey, respectively.
Simpson grew up in North Carolina, which was where this tourney was held, and had always had fond memories of this event. Now, his memories might get even sweeter with this win. The 26 year old Wake Forest alum makes his “solid” season turn into great. He finally gets that elusive first win, and with the talent he has, this won’t be his last. He also jumped to No. 3 in the Fed Ex Cup standings, surpassing World No. 1 Luke Donald and just behind Nick Watney and Steve Stricker. This is great for golf, and just makes the Fed Ex Cup playoffs a bit more interesting...
