Haas: Son can use Presidents Cup as stepping stone

Days after captaining the U.S. team to a dramatic victory at the Presidents Cup, Jay Haas reflected on what it meant to hoist the trophy in South Korea and have his son, Bill, tally the clinching point.

Haas said the week in Incheon created "lifetime memories," although the script very nearly didn't go as planned. He said that he expected to slot Bill anywhere from No. 5 to No. 12 in Sunday's singles lineup, and he ended up placing his son in the anchor match against Korean Sangmoon Bae. With the U.S. beginning the final session with a one-point lead, it seemed for a while that Haas' point might not factor in the ultimate outcome.
