Golf: Haas' 7-over claims Sr. PGA Championship

Associated Press

ROCHESTER, N.Y. - Jay Haas overcame a shaky putter during a topsy-turvy final round to hang today and win his second Senior PGA Championship in three years.

Haas endured a five-bogey, one-birdie round of 74 to finish the tournament at 7-over 287 and claim the $360,000 first prize.

Bernhard Langer, the third-round leader, finished second, a shot back after posting a 76 in a round he began with a double-bogey after striking a spectator with his opening tee shot.

Scott Hoch, Joey Sindelar and 1987 U.S. Open-winner Scott Simpson finished tied for third, two shots back.
