ATLANTA:
Bill Haas parred the third hole of a sudden-death playoff to defeat fellow American Hunter Mahan and win the US PGA Tour Championship as well as a $10 million season-playoff bonus. Haas took home $1.4 million for the event victory plus the $10 FedEx Cup bonus, winning more money in one day than his father Jay won in his entire PGA career. “This is pretty unbelievable,” said the younger Haas. “I’m very fortunate.”
