After opening with a 4-under 68, Bill Haas has fired three-straight rounds of 6-under 66 and is just one shot off the lead heading into the final round of the Bob Hope Classic in La Quinta, Calif.
Haas shot a bogey-free 66 on Sunday and has made just four bogeys compared to 26 birdies in the four rounds He is 22-under and trails Bubba Watson and Alex Prugh who currently sit at 23-under. Rain on Thursday pushed the second of five rounds back until Friday and thus forcing a Monday finish.
Webb Simpson has also enjoyed a solid week at the Hope as he is tied for 17th at 17-under par. He carded an opening round 5-under 67 but slipped-back with an even-par 72 on Friday. However, the 2008 graduate rebounded with a pair of 66s the last two days to put himself into contention.
