Webb Simpson, Jason Dufner, and Keegan Bradley– 12:08 PM Thursday, 7:23 AM PT Friday

This is a fun group to watch. All three get along well and Jason Dufner and Keegan Bradley are best friends with opposite golfing personalities.

Bradley bombs it a long way, is always in a hurry and very twitchy. Dufner is short, but a superb ball-striker that just plods along, and does things his way. Contrasts are always fun to watch.

The big thing I’ll be watching, though, is Webb Simpson. We talked about Jimmy Walker earlier and the same applies to Simpson.

Simpson has a stellar history here at TPC Summerlin and Simpson has a history of playing well at familiar courses. I’m curious to know if that will hold up this week or if his game is a bit rusty coming out of the gates.
