NORTON, Mass. – In the most dramatic finish in the nine-year history of the tournament, Webb Simpson holed a nine-foot birdie putt on the second playoff hole, the par-4 17th, to defeat Chez Reavie and capture the 2011 Deutsche Bank Championship.

NORTON, Mass. – Anyone hoping for an exciting finish to the Deutsche Bank Championship will likely get their wish as after Sunday’s third round the only thing that is definite is that almost every player is still in contention.
Perfect morning conditions followed by challenging wind in the afternoon pushed the top of the leaderboard together like an accordion. Bubba Watson, who entered Sunday tied for the 36-hole lead at 10-under, shot a 1-under-par 70 and will be the sole leader, one shot ahead of the pack of Jason Day, Brendan Steele, Chez Reavie, Jerry Kelly and Adam Scott.
