Late eagle gives Simpson one-shot lead at TPC Boston

Webb Simpson rolled in an eagle putt from 70 feet off the 18th green for an 8-under 63 to take a one-shot lead in the Dell Technologies Championship in Norton, Mass.

A gorgeous Saturday in New England allowed for low scoring at the TPC Boston. Tyrrell Hatton had eight birdies for a 63 and was one shot behind, along with Justin Rose (67). Tiger Woods shot a 66 to stay in the picture, though he was seven behind.

Simpson did most of his damage on the front nine and was playing a clean round when he opted to use his putter from left of the green on the par-5 closing hole. He hit it with the right pace on the right line and wound up with the lead at 11-under 131.
