SEASON IN REVIEW: Simpson had a whirlwind summer, picking up his first major championship when he won the U.S. Open and becoming a dad for the second time a month later when his daughter Willow was born. He started the final round at the Olympic Club trailing Jim Furyk and Graeme McDowell by four strokes, closed with a 68 and ended up winning by one. Simpson, who finished second in last year's FedExCup and on the PGA TOUR money list, had a good chance at a second win earlier in the year at the Wells Fargo Championship where he took the lead into the final round and missed a birdie putt on the 72nd hole to join the playoff. – Helen Ross

ALBERS’ QUICK TAKE: Fred Albers, on-course correspondent for SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio, provides a quick look at Simpson:
I wonder how much a U.S. Open win and new baby have affected his game. A very talented player who is also a well-rounded person. Has been inconsistent on the course this year.
