Bill Haas statement on fatal car accident in California

PACIFIC PALISADES, Calif. – Bill Haas was involved in a car accident that killed the driver of his vehicle Tuesday night, but the 2012 Genesis Open champion escaped serious injury. He will withdraw from this week’s event to head back to his South Carolina home. A statement released by the PGA TOUR and Haas’ Players Group Management said: Last night in Pacific Palisades, California, Bill Haas was involved in a serious car accident in which the driver – a member of the family with whom Haas and his family were staying for the Genesis Open – was killed. While Bill escaped serious injuries and has been released from the hospital, he is understandably shaken up and – more importantly – his deepest condolences go out to the host family during this tragic and difficult time. Bill will withdraw from the Genesis Open and plans to head home to Greenville to recover.  He appreciates the support of friends, family and the golf world as a whole, and he has asked for privacy as he processes what has happened. According to Los Angeles Fire Department rescue reports, the accident happened in the 500 block of N. Chautauqua Blvd around 6:30 p.m. local time Tuesday. It was a two-car collision with a rollover, with the 35-year-old Haas a passenger in a car. He and the driver of the other car, a 50-year-old female, were transported to a local hospital, with fire department officials initially reporting both in serious condition. Footage from Los Angeles television station KTLA showed the car Haas was in, a Ferrari, mangled on the sidewalk. L.A. police department detective Jeff Fischer told KTLA that a third car – a Toyota SUV owned by actor Luke Wilson — was clipped by the Ferrari. The KTLA report noted that police were looking into the cause of the crash and that surveillance footage from a local private residence may provide clues. Bill’s father Jay Haas told the Golf Channel that his son was “very fortunate” to avoid serious harm. Bill Haas had been scheduled to tee off at 8:04 a.m. local time in Thursday’s first round at Riviera Country Club.  In addition to winning the Genesis Open, Haas has five other PGA TOUR wins and won the FedExCup title in 2011. He also played for his dad, who captained the U.S. to a win at the 2015 Presidents Cup.

Brendon Todd takes 36-hole lead at WGC-FedEx St. Jude InvitationalBrendon Todd takes 36-hole lead at WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Brendon Todd shot a 5-under 65 Friday and grabbed a two-stroke lead through 36 holes of the World Golf Championships-FedEx St. Jude Invitational. Todd trailed defending champion Brooks Koepka after the first round by two strokes. He quickly erased that deficit and took the lead to himself with a bogey-free, five-birdie round for a 129 total at TPC Southwind. Rickie Fowler closed with birdies on his final two holes for a 67 and 131 total just behind Todd. Koepka had the lead to himself at 10 under before falling apart on his back nine with a double bogey and two bogeys. He finished with a 71, his first time over par at this course in seven rounds. He was four strokes back, tied with Byeong Hun An (65) and Chez Reavie (67). RELATED: Full leaderboard | New coach helps Koepka with strong start Jon Rahm shot a 74 and now is 4 over in his first event as No. 1 in the world. Justin Thomas, who could go back to No. 1 in the world with a win, was seven strokes back after a 70. Rory McIlroy’s bid to be No. 1 again may have to wait until the PGA Championship next week. He shot a 66, but is 10 strokes back. The wind eased from Thursday, making it easier off the tee in a round started early Friday morning to avoid expected thunderstorms in the afternoon. Todd won back-to-back tournaments last November for his first win on the PGA TOUR since winning the Byron Nelson in 2014. Since the return to play in June, Todd missed two cuts with his best finish a tie for 11th at the Travelers Championship. On Friday, his putter worked well enough that he needed only 24 putts in a round that featured a 50-footer for birdie on the par-3 No. 14. Todd hit a 6-iron to the left side of the green, and he had to roll the ball over a mound breaking left at least 5 feet. Todd stayed close to Koepka with birdies on Nos. 2 and 7. Todd sunk a 13-footer on the par-3 island green of No. 11 to go 9 under just as Koepka became the first to reach double digits under par. That’s when Koepka started struggling with his putter. Koepka double-bogeyed No. 2 when he three-putted after missing a putt for par from 3 feet. His putter cost him a birdie chance on the par-5 No. 3. That put Todd atop the leaderboard at 9 under, and his putter helped him birdie consecutive holes including the big putt on No. 14. He sunk a 12-footer for a second straight birdie on No. 15 to go 11 under and a four-stroke lead until Fowler’s birdie-birdie finish. Fowler might’ve had a piece of the lead if not for hitting his tee shot into the water in front of the island green at No. 11. He rebounded by hitting his approach 175 yards on No. 17 to 3 feet for birdie, and he holed out from the fairway just off the front of the green on No. 18.
