Former US Open champ Simpson seizes RBC Heritage lead via TheCitizen_News
Simpson said distance control was the key to his second straight six-under effort at Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, where his 12-under total of 130 put him one clear of American Bryson DeChambeau and Canadian Corey Conners.DeChambeau is cutting an impressive figure after using the coronavirus hiatus to add about 20 pounds in a quest for more strength and speed that he launched late last year.
“It’s just this golf course, it’s so difficult to try to fit into these tight areas where, if you miss it offline, like I did last week a couple times on a couple holes, I’ll be blocked out,” DeChambeau said. “I would like to hit it further,” added Simpson, who has taken a long, methodical approach to gaining strength and distance without compromising any aspect of his game.
It was a further stroke back to American Ryan Palmer, who posted a 67, and England’s Matthew Fitzpatrick signed for a 66.
