William Harlan Haas (born May 24, 1982) is an American professional golfer who plays on the PGA Tour and won the 2011 FedEx Cup.
He is the son of former PGA Tour player Jay Haas.
Early life
Haas was born in Charlotte, North Carolina, and was raised in Greer, South Carolina, a suburb of Greenville. He was the third member of his family to play golf at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, following his father, Jay, and uncle, Jerry.
Personal life
Haas comes from a distinguished family of golfers. His father is nine-time PGA Tour winner, Jay Haas. His brother, Jay Haas Jr., and uncle, Jerry Haas, are former PGA Tour players. He is a great nephew of 1968 Masters Tournament winner, Bob Goalby.
Haas and his father won the CVS Caremark Charity Classic in 2004, an unofficial PGA Tour event.
On February 13, 2018, Haas was involved in an automobile accident in Pacific Palisades, California in which the driver, Mark Gibello, was pronounced dead. The following day, Haas was released from the hospital after treatment for an injury from the accident and released a statement saying that he would withdraw from the ongoing Genesis Open.
College career
Haas had a stellar college career, including three-time All-American, four-time All-ACC, two-time ACC, and 2001 ACC rookie-of-the-year. He has won ten college tournaments throughout his career, and in his senior year of 2004, he received the Haskins Award, the Jack Nicklaus Award, and the Ben Hogan Award. He also set a NCAA record for the lowest scoring average. Haas was a member of the 2003 Walker Cup team as well as two Palmer Cup teams. In 2004, he began to work as a professional.
Professional career
Haas came from the Nationwide Tour (now Web.com Tour) in 2005 after struggling to obtain his PGA Tour card in qualifying school. At the 2005 Scholarship America Showdown, he finished second, his highest finish in a Nationwide Tour event. Haas birdied the last two holes at the 2005 qualifying tournament to earn his card on the PGA Tour for the 2006 season.
Haas' debut on tour ranked 99th on the money list, earning 19 out of 30 cuts. He had his best showing at the Wachovia Championship, where he came in third place in a tie for fourth place. He kept his tour card for the 2007 season, but in his first 13 events, he missed eight cuts. He began to recover after the fall series and finished his best finish of the year at the Viking Classic in a tie for third place. On the money list, he was 104th on the year.
Haas had a remarkably similar year to 2007 in 2008, finishing 104th on the money list for the second year in a row. He qualified for the first two FedEx Cup playoffs events before being disqualified at the halfway stage, placing him 73rd in the standings. With a T-4 finish, Haas also did well at the Viking Classic for the second year. Haas saw a lot more success in 2009, with four top-ten finishes, including a tie for third at the Valero Texas Open. This set him up for a good run in the playoffs, and Haas qualified for the third playoff tournament, the BMW Championship, for the first time in his career, falling short of the top 30 mark and ending the season 41st in the standings. He also ranked 61st on the year-end money list, receiving less than $1.5 million.
At the start of the 2010 season, Haas claimed his first PGA Tour victory at the Bob Hope Classic in La Quinta, California. Haas received tips from his father, Jay, and great-uncle Bob Goalby about his foot placement during his swing a week before the case. Matt Kuchar, Tim Clark, and Bubba Watson were all winners of the competition by a single shot over Bubba Watson. The win came at the start of his fifth year on the PGA Tour.
Haas made his first appearance in the Masters Tournament, where he finished in a tie for 26th. In October, he claimed his second PGA Tour title of 2010 and his career, defeating Michael Allen by three strokes. He was runner-up at the McGladrey Classic to Heath Slocum by a single stroke the next week. This late-season boost helped him to 20th position on the season's final budget list. In addition,, he came in 31st in the FedEx cup rankings, barely missing out on a spot in the Tour Championship by a single spot.
Haas captured the season-ending Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in 2011, defeating Hunter Mahan in a sudden death playoff at the third extra hole. Haas played an excellent round from the bank of the water hazard to save par and prolong the playoff run. The win earned Haas a 2011 FedEx Cup title and the $10 million draw. On the final 2011 PGA Tour money list, Haas was ranked seventh (the FedEx Cup funds do not count toward that number).
Fred Couples, the current US team captain, and Tiger Woods were among the 2011 Presidents Cup picks for Haas. The United States carried on to keep the cup, while Haas contributed 1.5 points to the squad this week, with a total record of 1-3-1.
In February 2012, Haas won the Northern Trust Open at Riviera Country Club for the fourth time on the PGA Tour. He came from two strokes back on the final day to hold the clubhouse lead and compel Phil Mickelson and Keegan Bradley to parry long birdies on the 18th hole to guarantee a playoff appearance. Both three players parred the 18th hole, the first playoff hole, and progressed to the driveable par-4 10th hole. Haas squirted his drive out to the left to avoid a difficult pitch, but Mickelson found the rough and Bradley the bunker on the right. Haas decided to pitch out to the middle of the green, because both Mickelson and Bradley were unable to find the green on their second shots. Haas shot a 43-foot birdie putt, and after neither Mickelson nor Bradley could match him, his victory was assured.
With a victory at the AT&T National at Congressional Country Club in June 2013, Haas won his fifth PGA Tour title. After shooting a close 66, which included six birds and one bogey, he won by three strokes over Roberto Castro. In a four-way tie for the lead, he had begun the final round. Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson, and Justin Rose are among the four players to have won PGA Tour events in each of the last four seasons.
After an opening round of 68, Haas was the Masters in April 2014. However, he shot a second round six-over-par 78 to fall short of the leaderboard. He finished with rounds of 74-70 to end T20th over the weekend.
Haas won the Humana Challenge in January 2015 for the sixth time on the PGA Tour. He took the final round 67 for a total of 22-under-parity and a one stroke victory over five other players. This was the second time Haas had won the Humana Challenge in his career, after winning in 2010 (as the Bob Hope Classic). After recovering from a fractured wrist injury that hampered him throughout 2014, Haas said afterwards that the victory came as a surprise to him. In 2015, Haas was selected for his third Presidents Cup, becoming the first American to play in three Presidents Cups without being selected for the Ryder Cup.
For the first time in his career, Haas played entirely on the PGA Tour for the 2018-19 season, after an injury kept him off the track for a portion of the previous season, and he did not have enough funds to keep full Tour rights.
