Hometown Boy Webb Simpson Tied for Lead at Wells Fargo Championship
Mapquest says it is 0.9 miles from Webb Simpson’s home to the front gates of the Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina. From the back of the 16th green and facing an impossibly long putt, Simpson had to have felt closer to his home than the hole.
But he unleashed a curling 62-footer down the hill that found the bottom of the cup for birdie. Membership has its privileges...

Three-way tie for lead at Quail Hollow
Webb Simpson said he was nervous playing golf with Tiger Woods. It sure didn't show.
Simpson chipped in for eagle and holed a 60-foot birdie putt that might have rolled off the 12th green if the cup didn't get in the way. It led to a 7-under 65 and a share of the lead with Stewart Cink and Ryan Moore in the first round of the Wells Fargo Championship.
Woods one-putted three...

Webb Simpson Floats Back Down to Earth
IN CASE YOU HAVEN’T NOTICED, Webb Simpson, the young gun who won twice on the PGA Tour late in the 2011 season, has been making a lot of birdies.

Bubba Watson-Webb Simpson pairing pays off at Presidents Cup

The two players had nothing in common when it came to their personalities or games, but that didn't stop them from steamrolling...
