ROOKIE SIMPSON LEADS IN NEW YORK.

You could have been forgiven for thinking you were watching the Irish Open,instead of the FedEx Cup play off's at Liberty National in New York.Constant wind and rain made it very difficult scoring conditions.

24 year old rookie Webb Simpson revelled in the conditions and surprised everybody by leading at the half way stage after rounds of 66,68 for an 8 under par total and a 2 shot lead from Paul Goydos 71 and Steve Marino 71 -6.

Padraig Harrington made a 7 at the par5,8th hole on his way to a 75. His level par total leaves him in a tie for 17th in a group of 12 guys that includes Tiger Woods 72 and Luke Donald 69.
