Webb Simpson Will Rely On Short Game At Bethpage
6 years agoWebb Simpson is in the field for the 2019 PGA Championship. Simpson heads to New York off a strong trio of recent outings that included a T5 at the Masters. The 2012 U.S. Open champion is no stranger to tough golf courses, but his lack of distance off the tee will put him at a disadvantage on this week's lengthy Bethpage layout. Simpson will rely heavily on his elite short game. He stands sixth on the PGA Tour in strokes gained: around the green. The 33-year-old will need to be flawless in all facets of the game this week to make up for his lack of distance. Simpson might not project as a great course fit, but his discounted DFS price makes him worth a look.
