Haas hopes to drop 'choker' tag

A younger man might not want to admit it publicly, but Jay Haas, the oldest man in this week’s Ryder Cup and the second oldest ever, did not even hesitate over the words. “I choked.”

Returning after a nine-year gap this week 50-year-old Haas will be hitting his first Ryder Cup shots since an experience which very nearly made him a hero, but instead was the stuff of nightmares.
