$10m hit takes time to register for lucky Haas

A FRENETIC, wildly unpredictable final day at the Tour Championship ultimately ended with Bill Haas winning both the tournament and FedExCup honours, though it took a while for his double success to sink in.

The 29-year-old American sealed victory by beating compatriot Hunter Mahan in a sudden-death playoff but he did not realise he had also scooped the season-long playoff jackpot of $10 million until the trophy presentation.

“We did some TV interviews up in the grandstands there on 18 and both trophies were there,” Haas said after clinching his third PGA Tour title.
