Top 20 Golfers for 2012 Majors: No. 15 Bill Haas

No. 15: Bill Haas

Born: May 24, 1982, Charlotte, N.C.  | Career PGA Tour Wins: 4 | 2011 Wins (Worldwide): 1 | 2011 Earnings (PGA Tour): $4,088,637 | World Ranking: 14

Brandel Chamblee's Take:

The 2011 FedExCup champ has never finished in the top 10 in a major, but he was one of the few in the world to make the cut in every major in only his sixth year on Tour. It has taken him awhile to find his footing, but at 29 years old he should, over the next decade, be one of the premier players in the game. His top-5 ball-striking rank coupled with his ranking of third in putting from inside five feet explains his success last year and point towards great things in 2012. It looks like Haas might not know how good he is, but simultaneously lifting the Tour Championship trophy and the FedExCup should give him the confidence to contend and perhaps win a major in the very near future.
