Simpson also made light of the bozo who interrupted his 18th-green interview with Bob Costas on NBC.
@webbsimpson1 My new friend. http://t.co/cSalXXf1
Paul Tesori, Simpson’s caddie, played a big part in getting Simpson to this point.

Scott Stallings saw this win coming, and got something out of it.

Charles Warren III noticed Mike Davis of the U.S. Golf Association removing the intruder on the 18th green.

Finally, Beau Hossler may have not won or even finished as low amateur this week, but he may have snagged a prom date.
@ThePCreamer Beau I will go to prom with you!!!
It’s got to be the hat.
@JasonDufner I think maybe Beau got that UT visor from Brandel Chamblee, rocking the old school look.. Great finish in a us open for 17yr old. Boom!
