Someone keeps pranking Webb Simpson at the US Open

PROFESSIONAL golfer Webb Simpson has fallen victim to a mystery pranker with a top-notch sense of humour at this year’s US Open.

SOMEONE is pranking Webb Simpson at the US Open — and they’re doing it 100 per cent the right way.

According to Simpson, he’s been greeted with a different name on his locker each day he shows up at Chambers Bay. And the culprit isn’t just taking a piece of tape and scrawling something clever on it with a Sharpie. No, she or he is putting up a brand-new, shiny placard each time.

On Tuesday, there was a shout-out to two-time NBA champ LeBron James:

Someone at the @USGA is having some fun because every day I have a new name on my locker. This might be the best yet pic.twitter.com/7XH6RMyeuU

On Wednesday, a nod to gravity-defying former hoops star Spud Webb:

A new day at the @usopengolf means a new name on my locker. Any guesses what tomorrow's will be? pic.twitter.com/Wg5tkBkXET

For Thursday, a famous children’s book:

"Charlotte's Webb" got off to a slow start today but I feel that me and my next alias will get it going tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/Cb1orHNUZG

And Friday, a mashup with undefeated boxing champ Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather.
