The Latest: Simpson off to hot start in Ryder Cup bid
ST. LOUIS (AP) — The Latest on the PGA Championship, golf's final major of the year (all times local):1:15 p.m.
Webb Simpson has two early birdies to get to 8 under at the PGA Championship, and that should essentially lock up his spot on the Ryder Cup team if he hadn't done it already.
Simpson was in the eighth and final spot to guarantee being part of captain Jim Furyk's team next month in France. Bryson DeChambeau and Phil Mickelson, who were right behind him, failed to make the cut this weekend at Bellerive.
One intriguing situation involves Bubba Watson, who was fifth in the standings.
