2011 Wyndham Championship Winner-Webb Simpson


Webb Simpson (66-65-64-67—262/-18)

The Wake Forest graduate moves to No. 3 in the FedExCup standings. Players inside the FedExCup top five heading into the fourth and final playoff event control their own FedExCup destiny; any player inside the top five who wins the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola will win the FedExCup and the $10 million first-place prize.

Simpson had one eagle in each of the first three rounds.

Simpson was 13-under-par on Nos. 10-18 this week. He was 10-under on the par-5s this week.

Simpson is the seventh different winner of the Wyndham Championship from an ACC school. The last was Carl Pettersson in 2008 (North Carolina State University).

Simpson is the third Wake Forest graduate to win the Wyndham Championship (Lanny Wadkins/1983 and Scott Hoch/2001).
