Simpson's year reminding him of best-ever 2011

NORTON, Mass. – After holing out from off the green to take the lead at the Dell Technologies Championship, Webb Simpson immediately thought back to 2011.

That was the year that Simpson came to TPC Boston just a few weeks removed from his maiden PGA Tour win, and he added a second trophy after outlasting Chez Reavie in a playoff. That victory included a putt from off the green on the 72nd hole to force overtime, similar to the 71-footer he holed Saturday to close out a bogey-free, 8-under 63 and move one shot ahead of Tyrrell Hatton and Justin Rose.
