Quotes by Jay Haas
Jay Haas's insights on:
(The Champions Tour) is where I belong. I don't see myself jumping back and forth a lot. I'll still play a few special ones that I've played well in the past.
The course is absolutely perfect. It's everything everybody said it was. I feel very comfortable out here after having some success on the Champions Tour late last year. It's good to be competing against golfers your own age.
The course at Savannah is more wide-open, but it has a lot of character to it. Last year it played so hard because of the wind on the weekend. And the 18th hole, I still haven't figured out how to make a par on that hole, so if I'm doing well, I hope I have a little cushion on that last day.
I was nervous starting off today. I was nervous because I felt like I was going to play good and shoot a good round. I was trying to calm myself down. This race is a long race. The eagle at two was helped, but I was trying not to be too eager.
I think Curtis is finally getting his drive back, his passion for the game, ... I think he's starting to enjoy that competition again. That's what drives us all out here that feeling of being able to hit a good shot in a tough situation.
I have been very, very consistent. But at the same time I kept kind of hitting my head on the ceiling and I couldn't break through.
I had a good group. I played with Fuzzy and John Mahaffey. Any time you play with Fuzzy, you know you're going to have a good time. I really enjoyed it.
