Nick Price, who led entering the final round, carded a 69 and finished third at 205.

"I thought I'd need ... at least 65 or even lower," Haas said. "I thought it was a pretty good day to score. There wasn't much wind. I thought someone ahead of me might go nuts."

Haas won $258,750, moving him to the top of the tour money list.

Joey Sindelar was alone in fourth at 7-under 206 and seven players tied for fifth at 207 -- John Cook, Tom Purtzer, John Morse, Loren Roberts, Bobby Wadkins, Ron Streck and Kirk Hanefeld.
