(Reuters) - Webb Simpson came close to shooting only the 10th sub-60 round on the PGA Tour with an electrifying display during Thursday's opening round at The Greenbrier before he ran out of steam over the closing holes.

Needing a birdie on each of his final two holes, the Players Championship winner capped his round with a pair of pars for a career-low, nine-under-par 61 at The Old White TPC in White Sulphur Springs.
