Haas wins Bob Hope Chrysler Classic
Place not yet researched (region; the course comes with research) · Jay Haas’s win no. 7 on the PGA Tour · purse 1,000,000 USD · end date from the 1988 PGA Tour season table, Haas's wins table and OWGR; start left null: OWGR gives 1988-01-21 but the event was 90 holes (five rounds in Haas's wins table), so a Thursday start is doubtful
