Haskins extends lead to four strokes at q-school

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 23:52:19 +0000

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Steve Haskins (El Paso, Texas), a 16-year veteran of the PGA TOUR's Nationwide Tour and the son of late Hall of Fame basketball coach Don Haskins, is now on the verge of doing something he was never able to do when he was younger -- earn fully-exempt status on the PGA TOUR. Haskins fired a 6-under-par 65 on Thursday to extend his lead to four strokes over two-time PGA TOUR winner Ronnie Black (Tucson, Ariz.), after three rounds of the Champions Tour's National Qualifying Tournament on the Champions Course at the TPC Scottsdale. Haskins' 54-hole total of 17-under-par 199 is the lowest three-round score at this event since Bob Gilder was 18-under on the Eagles Pines Golf Club course at Walt Disney World in 2000.
