Simpson is crowned

He was the only player in the field to play the weekend with both rounds in the 60s, going 68-68. He played the final 13 holes Sunday 4-under par.

He made solid, clutch par putts down the stretch, although his pedestrian bunker play needs work.

His win means in the 5 Opens played at The Olympic Club, the winner has not come from the final group.

Simpson showed some major backbone with that up-and-down on the 72nd hole for the win.

The Open should show younger players that it is never about how you play, but what you shoot.
