Simpson Marches To Four Stroke Players Triumph

Former US Open champion Webb Simpson finished a four-stroke, wire-to-wire triumph at the Players Championship to end a four-year victory drought. A double-bogey at the final hole was just a blip for the 32-year-old Simpson, who signed for a final-round 73 and an 18-under par total of 270 at TPC Sawgrass.

“Man, it means everything to me," Simpson, who won the US Open in 2012, said. "I feel like it's my first win. I feel so similar to how I felt in Greensboro back in 2011. To win a major championship and a few other Tour events and then go… I guess it's over four years without a win, I never doubted myself, but at the same time, that's a long time."

The North Carolina native was never headed since sharing the lead on day one and then storming five shots clear of his rivals on day two in shooting a course record-equalling 63. Simpson took a tournament-record seven-shot lead into the final round and marched to the victory as would-be challengers, including 14time major champion Tiger Woods fell by the wayside.
