Simpson not worried about protecting Ryder Cup position

ST. LOUIS Even though hes hanging on to the eighth and final automatic spot on the U.S. Ryder Cup team by the slimmest of margins, Webb Simpson wont do much leaderboard-watching this week at the PGA Championship.I think everybody is thinking about it more than I am, he said Thursday. I want to be on that team very badly, but its about how well can you separate the Ryder Cup and the PGA Championship? This week means a lot. I have to take care of me and see where we stand on Sunday.This is the final week of qualifying for the U.S. team, and Simpsons position is precarious just 49 points ahead of No. 9 Bryson DeChambeau.

Simpson has previously been a captains pick, and hes likely to receive strong consideration again even if he were to drop out of the top 8 by Sunday.Ive been playing well, Ive put together a strong year, and well see what the captain wants to do, he said.Simpson might not want to look, but after a 2-under 68 on Day 1, hes in the best position of any of his closest pursuers. DeChambeau shot 71, Phil Mickelson carded a 73 and Xander Schauffele posted a 70 while playing alongside captain Jim Furyk.I wont pay attention to what those guys are doing, Simpson said. The only thing Ill pay attention to is the leaderboard and what I need to do on Sunday.
