Bill Haas still has the Mickey Mouse trophy he earned playing with his father, Jay, years ago when his dad was competing in the PGA Tour event at Walt Disney World.
They played together on a nine-hole par-3 course with artificial greens adjacent to the Magnolia course at the resort.
“I think they gave out like seven places,” Bill said, recalling what the Haases think was their first official father-son event.
Haas’ other son, Jay Jr., also played the same father-son so dad hit two balls on every hole.
It’s no Mickey Mouse event this week when Bill and Jay Haas tee it up together in the Zurich Classic in New Orleans. Between them, they have played 1,239 PGA Tour events – many when both were in the field – but this is the first time they will have been teammates.
