Webb Simpson blends solid course history with impressive recent results on Tour.

The North Carolinian doesn’t have trouble going south. Simpson lost in a playoff to Graeme McDowell in 2013 and owns four top-15 finishes in eight starts. He’s only missed one cut at Harbor Town.

Of late, Simpson finished T20 at the Masters thanks to a Sunday 67. He also posted a T8 at the Valspar and a T5 at the Honda and has missed just one cut in 2018.

Simpson is in the positive across the board in strokes gained. He’s regained his putting touch, sitting 10th on Tour in strokes gained.

“We only live about four hours away, so we get to drive. I feel like I always play pretty well at the beach or just makes me feel more relaxed,” Simpson said in 2013. “I enjoy going to the beach. It’s nice to come down. Seems like most families come to this tournament. I have a lot of friends in the area and Savannah. All in all it feels like a home week, to be honest.”
