Redemption

ROCHESTER - For an Oak Hill Country Club East Course that's been described as stingy, relentless and, most of all, brutal, Jay Haas can now add a far more complimentary adjective: merciful.

Haas erased the dreadful memory of one of the worst moments in his 32 years as a professional golfer by hanging on through a bogey-filled final round to claim the 69th Senior PGA Championship.

“I exorcised some demons,” Haas said. “That's probably one of my most solid pars I've ever made.”
