Webb Simpson won the 2020 RBC Heritage at Harbour Town with a 22-under total, setting a new tournament 72-hole record; he finished one stroke ahead of the field. This victory marked Simpson’s second win of the 2019-20 PGA Tour season and helped him climb FedExCup standings.[9]

The event was notable for a lightning delay that interrupted play during the weekend, affecting scheduling and momentum for several contenders. After two rounds, leaders were jockeying for position as stars like Bryson DeChambeau and Corey Conners chased Webb Simpson.[1]

In the third round, a four-way tie for the lead emerged at 15-under among Tyrrell Hatton, Abraham Ancer, Ryan Palmer, and Webb Simpson heading into Sunday, before Simpson ultimately pulled away to win. The highlight reel included a mix of birdies and clutch shots typical of Harbour Town’s tight, strategic layout.[2]

For context, the RBC Heritage has historically drawn strong fields and substantial prize money; the 2023 event carried a purse around $20 million with a winner’s share near $3.6 million, illustrating the tournament’s significance on the PGA Tour calendar. This helps explain why top players target Harbour Town despite the course demanding precise ball-striking and strategy.[5]
