Webb Simpson didn't quite match his historic second round 63, but he got the job done Saturday at The Players Championship. Simpson shot a stress-free 68 in the third round of The Players Championship to get in the clubhouse at 19-under par. He takes a massive 7-shot lead into the final round Sunday. No player in the history of the PGA Tour has ever lost a tournament when having a 7-shot lead after 54 holes. Simpson hopes to make the right kind of history at TPC Sawgrass, he has a legitimate chance of breaking Greg Norman's Players Championship 72-hole scoring record of 24-under par, which has stood since 1994.--Joe Nicely - RotoBaller

Webb Simpson won the Wyndham Championship back in 2011 and has enjoyed several nice runs at Greensboro. The reality is it has been an up-and-down 2023. The American golfer likely will not make the playoffs at 170th in the FedEx Cup points. However, Simpson can make some putts and keep the ball on the course. Even that putting ability has dropped below average (128th at -0.148 strokes gained). As for off the tee, that rank is worse at 176th. Simpson always can turn back the clock every so often. There was that tied for seventh at the Valspar so one never knows. --Chris Wassel - RotoBaller

Webb Simpson had one of the worst PGA Championship experiences imaginable. Consecutive 77's landed him at +14 which dropped him back outside the top 150 in the FedEx Standings. Simpson won two majors what feels like a lifetime ago but did finish tied for second in 2019 at this tournament. It was held in Hamilton but that was a course where birdies could be had in bunches. Simpson shot -22 then. The course suits him well here and may make the American a viable long shot. Being paired with Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose could be a boost.--Chris Wassel - RotoBaller

One of the PGA Tour's most consistent performers for years, Webb Simpson has now been mired in an extended slump over the past 12 months. Simpson has missed the cut in seven of his last 10 starts and lost strokes total in all 10 of those outings. It's a far cry from the elite consistency he's known for. The Wake Forest alum hasn't teed it up in the Honda Classic since 2019 and did record a T5 in the 2018 edition of the Florida event. Despite his reputation and name recognition, the veteran's recent struggles take him out of serious fantasy consideration this week.--Joe Nicely - RotoBaller

It's been a sharp and dramatic decline for Webb Simpson over the last two years, as he's tumbled all the way down to 127th in the official world golf rankings. He's battled neck and back injuries, as well as a coaching change when he moved from his long-time instructor Butch Harmon to Cameron McCormick last year. If Simpson is going to find his form, it might be on this Waialae track on which he's been dominant throughout his career. He's scored top-four finishes in three of his last four Sony Open starts and has never missed a cut in 12 career starts on the short Seth Raynor design. The veteran is worth a look in DFS tournaments at his reduced price.--Joe Nicely - RotoBaller
