"Jay Dean Haas" is an American professional golfer formerly of the PGA Tour who now plays on the Champions Tour.

Haas was born in St. Louis, Missouri, and grew up in Belleville, Illinois. He attended Wake Forest University and was a member of the NCAA Division I Men's Golf Championships/NCAA Championship team of the middle 1970s with Curtis Strange and Bob Byman that Golf World has called "the greatest college team of all time". He won the individual championship in 1975. He turned professional in 1976.

Haas has had a solid career on the PGA Tour, winning nine times between 1978 and 1993. He had a resurgence in 2003, when he finished in the top 30 on the money list for the first time since 1995 and made the United States Presidents Cup team. The following year he was one of Hal Sutton's two captain's picks for the Ryder Cup, and made his third appearance in that event.

I've had more hole-in-ones. You don't see them. Very rare.

To shoot two-under on that front nine after starting off with a bogey like I did was a nice boost and kind of got me right there with the lead.

171

I hit a lot of great shots, kept the ball in play and made a quite a few putts.

I think I lost my golf energy. You can't come out here and go through the motions. These guys are too good. I guess I'm at a crossroads. Right now, I would say I'll play more on the Champions Tour. But if I start to play a little better at the end of the year ... I still like to do this.

Each day, I felt like a left a few (strokes) out there. But today, I made the putts I needed to make, both the short ones and the ones that really made this round complete.

153

The only crazy drive I hit all day was on eight, but I still managed to save my par. I was pretty sharp out there today.

151

I never have been satisfied at any time, other than when you win a tournament that week, then you pretty much did what you wanted to accomplish.

I guess in a condensed version, I would say I think I've had a successful career but I'm not satisfied.

132

My putter just went south toward the end of the round. I just had no touch, no feel. I couldn't hit it well enough to get away with anything. I'm not going to hang myself. It was a difficult day.
