Jay Haas
Haas has won the famed par-3 tournament at the Masters twice -- the
first time as an amateur in 1976. After a highly successful collegiate
career at Wake Forest, Haas emerged on the professional scene, picking
up his first PGA Tour win at the 1978 Andy Williams-San Diego
Open. During his career, Haas has been a member of both Ryder Cup and
Presidents Cup teams. Haas's uncle, Bob Goalby, was the 1968 Masters champion.
