WASHINGTON, June 20 ― Webb Simpson fired nine birdies in fashioning a six-under par 65 yesterday for a one-stroke lead midway through the US PGA Tour RBC Heritage. Simpson said distance control was the key to his second straight six-under effort at Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head Island,...

He said the narrow Harbour Town layout didn't allow him to make the most of his newfound power, but he still grabbed eight birdies in a seven-under par 64 for 131. “It's very satisfying knowing I'm not near as long as some of these guys and I'm able to kind of use my skills of distance control and shot shape to pick me back up when I'm 40 yards or 30 yards behind these guys,” said Simpson, the 2012 US Open champion.
Conners joined DeChambeau on 131 after a “stress-free” 63 that featured eight birdies without a bogey. The tournament is the second since the US PGA Tour resumed after a three-month break caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
