Webb Simpson birdied his final three holes, including both playoff holes, and beat Chez Reavie on the second extra hole Monday to win the Deutsche Bank Championship.

Simpson, who lost a playoff earlier this year in New Orleans to Bubba Watson, drained an eight-footer on the par-four 17th to seal his second PGA Tour title.

Simpson, who won the Wyndham Championship two weeks ago, closed with a six- under 65, while Reavie posted a five-under 66 to end at 15-under-par 269.

The duo returned to the par-five 18th for the first extra hole. Both players knocked their second shots left of the green in thick rough.

Simpson pitched his third to 15 feet. Reavie hit a beautiful pitch shot inside three feet. Simpson, who birdied the 18th in regulation from a similar line, drained his birdie effort.

Reavie responded by knocking in his short birdie try as well.

They moved to the par-four 17th. After Simpson stuck his approach inside nine feet, Reavie pushed his out to the right, some 23 feet from the hole. Reavie's birdie effort missed right and he tapped in for par.

Simpson calmly drained his eight-footer for birdie and the victory. With the win, he also takes over the lead in the points race for the FedExCup.
