Simpson wins as Harrington and McDowell bow out of FedEx Cup series

American Webb Simpson was the unlikely winner of the Deutsche Bank Championship in Boston after things slipped away from Luke Donald for the second year in a row.

After charging to the turn in 30 to lead the second of the FedEx Cup play-off events by one shot with seven holes to play, England’s world number one double-bogeyed the 12th and dropped another stroke on the short 16th.
