Simpson said, “So now I’m kind of in a weird place because this week, I bet Sam Burns because he was 33-1, and most of the time I bet he’s come through for me. And I bet Jon Rahm. I don’t know why but I did bet Jon Rahm. But Brooks Koepka is in first place which I’m watching him this morning finish yesterday’s round. And it’s just such a weird thing every time they hit the ball, every time they put the ball. I’d love to see Brooks win this major and get a green jacket. But I’d be able to pocket a few shackles if Jon Rahm wins.”
