ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Jay Haas overcame a shaky putter during a topsy-turvy final round at unmercifully stingy Oak Hill to hang on Sunday 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-par 287. It was Haas’ 11th victory on the Champions Tour.
Bernhard Langer, the third-round leader, finished second, a shot back after posting a 76. Scott Hoch, Joey Sindelar and 1987 U.S. Open winner Scott Simpson tied for third, two shots back.
