Tour Championship Tips: Webb Simpson
Has cracked the top-5 in the last two years and has been playing well without making any putts.
The last three winners of the Tour Championship started the Playoffs outside the top-5 in the FedEx Cup standings and it is an advantage to enter to Tour Championship with low expectations.
The prospect of winning £10million must be daunting for even the wealthiest of golfers.
Webb Simpson falls into that category but the fact he is a major winner means he can cope with the pressure of a big event.
The 29-year-old has been playing well tee to green all season but latterly he’s been disappointing with the putter.
Simpson’s strokes gained putting has been negative in the last five tournaments, when you consider he finished T5 and T9 during that period you wonder what could be achieved when the flat stick behaves.
In three visits to East Lake, the former US Open champion has finished 22-T5-4 and just a reasonable week on the greens should see him contend at 40/1 (Coral).
