PONTE VEDRA BEACH (UNITED STATES) - Former US Open champion Webb Simpson finished a four-stroke, wire-to-wire triumph at the Players Championship on Sunday to end a four-year victory drought. “Man, it means everything to me," Simpson, who won the US Open in 2012, said. Simpson took a tournament-record seven-shot lead into the final round and marched to the victory as would-be challengers, including 14-time major champion Tiger Woods fell by the wayside. Simpson stalled with six straight pars before a first birdie of his round at the par-four seventh that took him to 20-under. "There's been some tough moments along the way," said Simpson, whose father died in November.
