Former U.S. Open champ heads to Mexico in search of a spark and returns with his first trophy in several years.
It's a formula Graeme McDowell patented last year at the OHL Classic at Mayakoba, where the Ulsterman won a three-man playoff for his first PGA Tour victory since 2013. It's also one that Webb Simpson hopes to follow one year later.
Simpson is making his first career start at El Camaleon Golf Club, but he had no trouble finding his footing during a bogey-free 65 that left him at 6 under, two shots off the pace set by Chris Kirk.
