DETROIT – After a COVID-19 test led to a quick schedule revision, Webb Simpson is making the most of an unexpected appearance at the Rocket Mortgage Classic.
Simpson already has two wins this year, the most recent coming last month at the RBC Heritage. He expected to build on that momentum last week at the Travelers Championship but abruptly withdrew when his daughter tested positive for coronavirus. That result turned out to be a false positive, Simpson said Wednesday, meaning that instead of facing a quarantine period in Charlotte the veteran was able to make the trek north to this week’s event in Detroit.
