And when the PGA comes to town, Simpson puts his knowledge of the course to work.I think it helps a little bit. I think knowing where to mi s it for the pins were playing helps, Simpson said before running out to celebrate his mother-in-law's birthday in town. But the best player is going to win this week no matter how Fred Warner T Shirts many times somebodys played.
