Webb Simpson earns second spot in PGA Grand Slam of Golf

With a spectacular, final-round, 2-under 68 at the incredibly difficult Olympic Club, 26-year-old Webb Simpson won the 112th U.S. Open at 1-over-par 281 by one shot over 2010 I.S. Open winner Graeme McDowell and Michael Thompson. It was just Simpson's second U.S. Open start.

Simpson overcame a four-shot deficit in the final round for his first major victory and in so doing, he earned the second spot in the 30th PGA Grand Slam of Golf, alongside friend and Masters champion Bubba Watson.

Simpson now has three PGA Tour wins in his young career.
