Webb Simpson opened his title defense of the U.S. Open with a 1-over-par 71 at Merion Golf Club.
Simpson opened 72-73 at Olympic Club last year before turning in a pair of 68s to win by one stroke a year ago. He sat six shots off the lead after both 18 and 36 holes. He's currently four strokes off the lead at Merion, which is the same margin he overcame in last year's finale. He was bogey-free 2-under through 10 holes in this week's lid-lifter before squaring three bogeys coming in. He's scheduled to begin his second round on the 11th tee at 11:06 a.m. ET. Jun 14 - 9:57 AM

Webb Simpson will defend his 2012 U.S. Open win at The Olympic Club later this week at Merion Golf Club.

One thing Simpson has going for him this week is identical form to 2012. That's not to say it's the best of form, as he missed the cut in the 2012 and 2013 Memorial. Still, his demeanor and statistical strengths have him considered by many to be a contender again this season.

Webb Simpson followed his opening 67 at THE PLAYERS with a 1-under-par 35-36=71 to reach the midpoint in 6-under 138, five strokes adrift of the 36-hole clubhouse lead.

The reigning U.S. Open champion hits only 11 greens in regulation today. He bogeyed three of the other seven holes. While he rolled in a birdie from 12'6" at the third hole, his only memorable highlight was a birdie from the bunker 18 yards out at the par-3 17th hole. It was a pro's pro kind of shot given that today's hole location is near the back edge.

Webb Simpson spun a bogey-free, 5-under-par 32-33=67 in his opening round of THE PLAYERS.

Simpson is one of many for whom success has escaped his grasp at TPC Sawgrass. He hadn't broken 70 in 10 previous rounds and his only payday in four previous starts resulted in a forgettable T69 n 2011. He split 11 (of 14) fairways and hit 14 greens in regulation. Along the way, he picked off five birdies, including respective conversions from 13'4" and 10'8" at holes 2 and 6. He walked off sitting four strokes off the clubhouse lead.

Webb Simpson signed for a bogey-free, 2-under-par 35-35=70 following his opening round of the Wells Fargo Championship.

The Quail Hollow member took the good with the bad today. He went 6-for-6 in scrambling but holed just two birdies, both from inside 42 inches. He missed on only one attempt from inside 19 feet, however, that a nine-footer that failed top drop at 8. His longest conversion measured 11'1" for par at the 12th hole.

Webb Simpson's final-round even-par 36-35=71 was good enough to get him into a playoff for the RBC Heritage with Graeme McDowell at 9-under 275, but a bogey on the first hole of the playoff handed the title to McDowell.

Simpson began the day trailing 54-hole leader Charley Hoffman by two strokes, quickly erasing that deficit with back-to-back birdies on the second and third holes. The 2012 U.S. Open winner then squared bogeys on the fifth, eighth and 10th holes before circling his third and final birdie on the par-4 12th from 4'5". He came to the par-4 18th needing a birdie to avoid a playoff with McDowell, but could only secure a par. He then missed the green to the right in the playoff and saw his putt from the fairway run out due to a gust of wind. After GMac easily made par, Simpson was unable to convert his par attempt. He will not play in the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

Webb Simpson toured Harbour Town in bogey-free 6-under-par 33-32=65 and is the leader of the RBC Heritage in the clubhouse at 9-under 204.

Simpson began the day three shots out of the lead, quickly cutting into the deficit with three birdies in his opening six holes including both par 5s on the front. He then began a difficult stretch to start the back nine with birdies from 13'2" on the par-4 10th and 7'4" on the par-4 11th, then added a sixth and final birdie from 14'11" on the par-5 15th. The 2012 U.S. Open winner only has two top 10s in 2013, coming in back-to-back weeks at the Northern Trust Open and the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship. He has a golden opportunity to pick up his fourth PGA TOUR win in tomorrow's final round.

Webb Simpson posted a bogey-free, 3-under-par 33-35=68 in his opening round of the RBC Heritage, finishing three strokes off the clubhouse lead.

Simpson rolled into Hilton Head Island having missed two straight cuts, but he's enjoyed some success at Harbour Town with a pair of T14s in his last three visits. Today he went 5-for-5 in scrambling and circled three birdies. The highlight of the loop was a 26'2" conversion for birdie at the par-5 second hole, his 11th of the round.

Webb Simpson signed for an 8-over-par 39-41=80 following his opening round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

Yes, you read that right. Simpson hit eight greens and failed to record a single par breaker. He missed five putts from inside nine feet and lost strokes to penalties after rinsing approaches on both the 16th and 18th holes. The 80 matches the highest score of his PGA TOUR career (first round, 2010 Zurich Classic of New Orleans).

Webb Simpson settled for a 2-over-par 36-37=73 in his opening round of the Tampa Bay Championship.

Simpson has a string of eight straight rounds in the 60s at Copperhead entering this year's edition, but didn't even threaten to extend it today. He hit only 10 greens in regulation and missed three putts from 6'5" and closer. His whiff from 43 inches for par at the par-3 15th served as the omen. Starting on the back, that lone bogey was sandwiched with eight pars before the turn. After a birdie form 13'3" at 1, he proceeded to link four bogeys and two birdies over his next six holes. The run included an 18-yard hole-out from the rough for birdie at 6 and a bogey conversion from 11'3" at 7. He signed his card sitting five strokes adrift of the clubhouse co-leaders.

Webb Simpson survived a late rally from Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano, claiming a 2 up victory in the third round of the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship and advancing to face Hunter Mahan in the quarterfinals.

Starting on the 10th hole, Simpson held what seemed to be a commanding 4-up lead through 11 holes before the Spaniard slowly started to chip away. Fernandez-Castno won three of six holes, starting at the par-3 third, with two of the wins the result of birdies. After Simpson found the putting surface on the final hole, the pressure was on for the Spaniard to knock it close. He left his approach outside of Simpson and was unable to make a final birdie that would have squared the match and forced a 19th hole, instead 3-putting for bogey. Simpson now gets a crack at winning the Jones Bracket later this afternoon.

With a birdie conversion at the par-4 18th hole, Webb Simpson secured a 1-up victory over Peter Hanson in the Player Bracket in the second round of the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship.

In a volatile match in which only seven holes were halved, it was fitting that Simpson slammed the door instead of backing into it. Prior to the clincher, Hanson opened as much as a 2-up lead (after 10 holes) and never trailed. Simpson's fortune propels him into the Saturday third round where he'll face Gonzalo Fernández-Castaño.

Webb Simpson sailed into the second round of the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship after defeating David Lynn 5 and 4 in the Player Bracket.

Simpson completed 13 holes in 2-under-par with three bogeys but won six holes, including a match-clinching concession at the par-4 14th. Lynn played the same stretch in 4-over and claimed only one win, that with a par at the par-3 12th. Simpson lost in the opening round in his debut in this event last year, but now advances to grapple with the winner of Peter Hanson v. Thomas Björn on Friday.

Webb Simpson settled for an even-par 34-37=71 in the final round of the Northern Trust Open, ending the week in a tie for sixth at 9-under 275.

Simpson briefly found himself within a stroke of Bill Haas, sitting at 2-under through five holes, but a bogey at six and another after an awful drive on the eighth ended that. He would trade one more birdie for a bogey on his way to the clubhouse, but didn't do enough to capture the win. He now heads to Arizona for the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship.
