NORTON, Mass. — You know the topic’s been discussed frequently in his company when he prefaces a comment by saying, “I use the analogy ... "
But to extend a courtesy to Bill Haas, he likely has been worn out by inquisitors regarding the Presidents Cup, so he’s within his right to use analogies. Here goes:
“If a 400-pound bear chases you, are you more scared than if a 200-pound bear chases you? You’re still scared, and you’re still running fast (as you can). You’re not more nervous. There’s not more pressure.”
If you know the present landscape, you’ll translate his analogy thusly: Haas is doing what he does every time he plays, he’s trying to play the best golf he can and he’s not applying more pressure to the situation because he’s 11th in the Presidents Cup standings.
