Bill Haas won the tour championship....barely. Haas win was truly earned as he battled Hunter Mahan through 3 long playoff holes that were the harder holes on the course. His shot on 17 out of the water saved him from elimination of Hunter Mahan. What started the crazy hole for Haas was poor club selection off the tee. Haas who in past rounds and shots hasn't had luck hitting the fairway with his driver, but he decided to go for it and suffered for it. Hitting out of the fairway bunker cost him dearly by putting him in the water, but managed to save himself by stopping a pitch shot 5 ft from the hole. If Haas had not made that incredible water shot he wouldn't have that trophy in his trophy case right now. Hunter fought a good battle but one slip up with his bunker shot on 18 cost him the tournament. Haas made many rescue shots like on the 1st playoff hole on 18 kept him in the playoff with Hunter. Both pulled off crazy shots, but Haas managed to pull this one out. The pressure got to Hunter on the bunker on 18, the blown bunker shot costed hunter the tournament. Hunter's short game has never been his strong suit, and it showed in the playoff with Haas.
I just love golf
