Webb Simpson won the U.S. Open at San Francisco’s Olympic Club on Sunday, shooting 68 for a one-over total to secure his first major title. “Amazed, I’ve got no words,” Simpson said after the victory. “Just thankful to God. I couldn’t have done it without him.” Simpson, who had two previous PGA Tour wins, held off a cast of veteran players on Sunday that included former U.S. Open winners Graeme McDowell, Jim Furyk and Ernie Els. McDowell and Michael Thompson tied for second at two over par, and five players were three over — Furyk, David Toms, Padraig Harrington, John Peterson and Jason Dufner.
I’m not talking about the NBA Finals this morning. Instead, I’ll send a quick congratulations to Webb for winning the U.S. Open. Unfortunately, (taking nothing away from his win) and I think the PGA would agree – the U.S. Open wasn’t the thriller we were hoping for..I love the one-over winning score by the way… Just like that, Webb Simpson is set for life. I should have been a golfer.
