Webb Simpson is Steadily Moving up the Leaderboard, Shoots -4 on Front Nine in Round 3
This tournament may be over, but Webb Simpson doesn't seem to care. He entered the third round at +4. He just demolished the front nine, bringing him to even.
The course at Congressional presents a much tougher back nine, than front nine. Simpson has fared considerably well on the front nine thus far in every round, but has struggled with the back nine.
Even so, he's improved every single round. He currently stands at 15th, and is 11 strokes behind Rory McIlroy.

The field is hoping they have the sort of third round Simpson hopes to complete. A third round like this from Y.E. Yang would make for an interesting storyline. Shaving four strokes off of Yang's score would bring him to -9, which could bring him within striking distance of McIlroy.
Simpson has virtually no chance of competing for a US Open trophy, but it is refreshing to see him competing. Almost as refreshing as the watermelon color scheme he is trying to pull off.
If McIlroy gets complacent, there are plenty of members in the field who could overtake him.
