If he wins the FedEx Cup, then the discussion will turn to a deafening roar – Webb Simpson will have had the best year on the PGA Tour and should be Player of the Year.
Sure – some will mention Rory McIlroy and his dominating performance in the U.S. Open – record-setting and iconic in the history of that venerable tournament. But in terms of a full year, start to finish, so far Webb Simpson has been the most consistent. What’s so remarkable is that a second year player cold be so flat-out dominant in the second half of the season.
Moreover, he’s been the Tour’s best role model. So what that Madison Avenue doesn’t know what to make of him? So what that a few Godless heathens want to shout him down because he has rock-hard faith? Who cares that he and God are mates and he wants the World to know?
Webb Simpson has done everything right: 1) win, 2) win with grace and class, and 3) win with nary a snap, snipe, or sour note.
What more do you want people? You saw where fist-pumping, intimidating scowls, got us…pandering to a potentially PED/steroid-fueled record chase.
Right now, Simpson is in first place in the FedEx Cup standings and two shots back at Dog Hill. If he wins, the issue will burn like a proprietary torch over the Tour Championship at East Lake.
And he’ll only have 29 guys to beat…
