Webb Simpson was about to break the TPC Sawgrass course record ... and then the 17th hole got the best of him Webb Simpson lit TPC Sawgrass on fire during his second round, rocketing to the lead and stringing together six birdies in a row on the back nine. He put himself in position to break the course record as long as he played the final two holes at one-over par. He stepped up to 17, the infamous hole where many a Players Championship dream has gone to die, and the golf Gods didnt have it in the cards for him to make history. His caddie described what happened in more detail to ESPN, and Simpson came up just short of hitting grass. He parred 18th with another two-putt and had to settle for merely tying the course record.
