ay Haas, who is well on his way to becoming the Tiger Woods of the Champions Tour, will seek his third consecutive victory when he tees it up in this morning’s first round of the 28th Bank of America Championship at Nashawtuc Country Club.
Haas, the defending champ here, won the Senior PGA Championship at Oak Hill in Rochester, N.Y., on May 25, and followed that with a win in the Principal Charity Classic June 1 in Des Moines, Iowa, before the tour took a two-week hiatus. A win here would mark the second time Haas has gone on a run of three straight wins on the Champions Tour.
Haas is one of 78 players competing in the 54-hole, $ 1.65 million dollar event, with $247,500 going to the winner. It is the 25th straight year the tournament has been at Nashawtuc following two years at Marlborough Country Club.
