simpson could celebrate. he now has a place in sports history. the amazing thing about webb simpson's win this week at olympic club is he never led at any point while actually on the golf course, but did he make a sunday charge. he shot a 2-under 68 and then when simpson made this putt for par on the 18th mole, he took the club -- hole, he took the clubhouse lead at 1-over, but he was still tied with jim furyk who was still on the course, but when furyk faltered, simpson celebrated his first major championship in the clubhouse with his wife and the only snafu was when this guy interrupted the trophy presentation and was quickly removed from the crowd. >>> finally game 4 of the nba finals are tomorrow night staying in miami. that's all for sports, but the news edge will be right back. >> the verizon 4g lte sports desk brought to you by verizon 4g lte. ttery life ? droid does. and does it launch apps by voice while learning your voice ? launch cab4me. droid does. keep left at the fork. does it do turn-by-turn navigation ? droid does. with verizon,

thoab was expecting simpson -- nobody was expecting simpson to beat the likes of tiger woods and jimuryk. hello fog. tiger was in a fog. a terrible start, 4 over on his first three holes. here on three and chips it way too long. tiger shot 73 and finished seven over. how about the shot of the day? up and down for birdie on 13. jim furyk was leading until 16. he was plus one and just cranks this thing and yanked the tee shot into the trees. he bogeyed and that pretty much ended his hopes for the win. simpson was playing four groups back of the lead. he shot a 68 and pared 18 and then sat in the clubhouse to watch mcdowell. he needs a break and the kid wouldn't break. i am having a hard time saying simpson. he is the open champion. 15th different major champ in the last 15 tournaments. an odd moment as simpson described his day. >> that was the difference. i got off to a slow start, but i knew -- i knew -- >> always something to spice matters up. >> unbelievable. runs are hard to come by in seattle as the giants and mariners finished up their inter league series. felix hernandez on the

simpson, watching anxiously from the olympic club locker room.'t take long for the celebration to break out as you just saw. simpson said he could hardly believe it. >> to be honest with you, i believe in myself that i could win a major but maybe not this soon. i've only played in -- i think this is my fourth or fifth. playing the final group of a major is really tough. out of 135 picks, five minutes ago so, i was just thumbing through them, trying to see all the congratulations. >> that's great. out of the last 18 players to tee off in the final round, simpson was the only one to break par. this is simpson's first major win, as you just heard, taking home $1.4 million. not a bad paycheck. >> that's a great day at the office. >> he earned it. >>> a huge sale today at the u.s. open merchandise pavilion. i wish someone would have told me. >> you picked up some stuff while you were there. hang around. most of it is probably gone. we'll have a preview of stuff you can get 50% off. see, that's why you were smart to get it when you could. shelves empty

among other things, bowles simpson raised the retirement age for social security, from 67 to 69. it cuts benefits for current social security retirees because it changes the way the cost of living adjustment, the cola is calculated. it increases the cost of medicare, increases cost sharing, shifts about $110 billion in costs to seniors and persons with disability. it would undermine employer sponsored health insurance as it cuts the tax expenditures, all these tax breaks, one of the things we should look at is if we can take this tax detection for employer provided health care and do away with that. if people really look at bowles simpson, this is really an attack to middle income people and those who aspire to it. let me give you an example of how we win, not just elections, but how we win on our issues. last week the president announced that those dream kids, the dreamers would no longer be under the threat of deportation and they could get work permits. i know that the president always thought that the dream act was a good idea and changing our immigration laws was a good idea

i am having a hard time saying simpson.he is the open champion. 15th different major champ majop in the last 15 tournaments. an odd moment as simpson described his day. >> that was the difference. i got off to a slow start, but i knew -- i knew -- >> always something to spice matters up. >> unbelievable. runs are h runs are hard to come by in seattle as the giants and mariners finished up their inter league series. felix hernandez on the mound for seattle. he hired a plane to fly in the stadium. he has been in a slump. the banner said "felix we love you." a base hit and the panda comes around to score on a single. here comes the panda and safe. giants up 1-0. fernandez seven innings. that was the only run. eight frames and also gave up one run and struck out four. romo gave up a couple of hits and lopez gave up this base hit to justin sloke. off the backside and seattle is a winner. at the coliseum. ryan cook and pitch. here comes logan and the padres take a 2-0 lead. bottom of 9. weeks and houst and houston strt punches hi

webb simpson making a charge up the leaderboard. his second shot on the par four spins, tapped in for birdie, eventually headed to the clubhouse with the lead. graeme mcdowell can force a play-off with simpson with a birdie putt hole. he can celebrate. he's the 112th u.s. open children and one over par for the tournament. nobody finished under par. the 15th different winner in the last 15 majors. the 26-year-old american started his day in 29th place. the worst position ever for a u.s. open winner after 36 holes. as if simpson's day wasn't surreal enough, he was treated to this interruption during his trophy ceremony. >> three straight birdies and four in a five-hole stretched turned the round for you. >> that was kind of the difference, i got off to a slow start, but i knew that -- [ bird noises ] >> enjoy the jail cell, pal. >> congratulations to webb simpson, 26-year-old. >>> dodgers hosting the white sox. bat bottom of the sixth. her rare la to right. it appears he beat the. the umpire calls treanor out. white sox get out with a

among other things, bowles/simpson raised the retirement age for social security from 67 to 69.t cuts benefits for current social security retirees, because it changes the way the cost of living adjustment, the cola, is calculated. it increases the cost of medicare. it increases cost sharing. shifts about $110 billion to seniors and persons with disability. it would undermine employer-sponsored health insurance as it cuts the tax expenditures, all these tax breaks. one of the things it would do would be to take a close look at how we can take this tax deduction for employer-provided health care and diminish that. it is two-thirds spending cuts and only one third increases in revenue. many of those increases in a bad way for middle class people and for poor people and so in many ways, if if people really look at bowles/simpson, this is more of the same, an attack on middle-income people and those who aspire to it. so what are the good solutions? let me give you an example of how we win not just elections with, but how we win on our issues. last week the president announced that t

what governor romney said is he would look at simpson-bowles as.n-bowles, the gang of six, the super committee-- even though it failed-- there's a formula that i think will take hold eventually. nobody wants to raise tax rates. not one person who has looked at this problem we have as a nation suggested raising tax rates. but tom coburn, pat toomey, the gang of six, simpson-bowles commission-- all said let's flatten and broaden the tax base. let's eliminate deduction, and when you ask him how many deductions? i think we should eliminate all deductions except interest on your home and charitable giving with a cap, take that money back into the treasure-- it's a trillion a year we give away in deductions-- and use most of it to pay down tax rates and about one-fourth of it to pay down the debt. that's what simpson-bowles, the gang of six, the super committee tried to do. and i'm confident that's what governor romney would embrace. >> schieffer: you know-- >> and here's the bottom-- here's the bottom line, bob. we're not going to get entitlement reform
