TOURNAMENT NOTEBOOK
Webb Simpson met with the PGA Tour media contingent via conference call on Wednesday. He’s had quite a bit of success at Sea Island, with four Top-10s in eight starts, two of which were runner-ups, including the near miss last year when he lost to Tyler Duncan in a playoff.
“I think just being on the coast, near the coast. I've always loved coming here, loved going to RBC Heritage. I grew up, you know, going to Wilmington, North Carolina, I just feel like while it is a work week, I just feel at ease on weeks like this a little bit more than normal. Just love this area. My family's coming down this weekend, so we always kind of make it a family affair. Love both golf courses,” said Simpson.
“I think a week like this the wind typically blows a little bit, you've got to drive it in the fairway, and I've always just felt comfortable playing both courses.”

About PGA Tour Brunch
As we’re sure you’ve noticed, @PGATourLunch is now @PGATourBrunch which reflects the fact we’ll occasionally send this missive for your early bird brunch time reading.
Overall, this e-Newsletter is designed to give golf fans basic news and updated information on the PGA Tour and its tournament of the week. It will arrive in your inbox by Noon (ET) six days a week (not Tuesdays). As the tour switches time zones, we adjust accordingly.
While there’s a glut of e-News flooding your inbox every morning, PGA Tour Brunch will provide you with some interesting reading at lunchtime. We are not affiliated with the PGA Tour or any tournament but rather an independent news outlet. As we continue beta testing, we will offer a limited amount of advertising and partnerships.
We’re providing a one-stop shop to save you time.
This title is now a stand-alone subscription-based e-Newsletter on Substack. We are offering the most value at the lowest possible price and also have a special Holiday Gift Special (see below). We are considering expansion to the NBA and other sports. Boston-based @SoxLunch is a sister publication. Please let us know what you think.
