USA Presidents Cup captain Jay Haas breaks down after his son clinches winning point

American captain Jay Haas is probably not exaggerating when he says he “couldn’t have even dreamt this.” Haas’ son, Bill, clinched the Presidents Cup on Sunday on the last hole of the last match in one of the most dramatic and pressurized Sunday singles sessions in the event’s history.

Even though Bill finished 11th in the final Presidents Cup standings, just one shy of automatically qualifying, there were still critics of Jay’s decision to make him a captain’s pick. Then Bill found himself in the anchor match of the entire event. That 12th and final singles match rarely features the top names and superstars because it’s so often irrelevant with the necessary clinching points attained several matches ahead. I’m sure Jay had no idea Bill’s match would mean so much in that 12th spot, but this one time, it decided the entire thing. And it went the full 18 holes.

Both halves of the father-son duo were emotional after the incredibly fortuitous scenario. Bill, who is maybe the most monotone and deadpan player on the PGA Tour, even broke down a little bit in an interview on the 18th green.
