Simpson takes route 66 to Vegas victory

Webb Simpson stormed to his first win of 2013 at the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open by six strokes in Las Vegas.

Simpson held a comfortable four-shot lead heading into the final round, but he showed tremendous composure at TPC Summerlin to card a five-under-par 66 and seal his first success on the PGA Tour since triumphing at the US Open last year.

“It means the world. This year, I felt like I’ve gotten better, just hadn’t got the win. We’ve been working hard,” he said after finishing well clear of Jason Bohn and Ryo Ishikawa.
