Bill Haas, son of multiple PGA Tour winner Jay Haas, wins his first PGA Tour title at the Bob Hope Classic. Haas made a short birdie putt after a great second shot on the par 5 18th, beating Bubba Watson, Tim Clark and Matt Kuchar by one with a 8-under 64.
"I'd been wanting to win from the first tournament I played, but it's a process, and there's a lot to it," said Haas, a rookie in 2006. "It's special, but I don't know if it's a monkey off my back. I know how hard it was to win, and I'm grateful. It was the most nervous I've ever been."
I was rooting for Bubba Watson to win his first tour title, because I love the way he approaches the game, but this is a great victory for Haas who has been a stead player since his rookie year. Its just nice to see some young stars finally emerge in what has been a Tiger fueled tour for more then a decade.
Mike Weir finished his first tournament of the year with a 6-under 66 and a very respectable 6th place finish. Look for Mike to have a big year and get his name back with the elite of the game.
Cheers,
