WHAT TO DO WITH $10 MILLION: Bill Haas won the FedEx Cup last year, and $9 million of that $10 million bonus goes right to the bank. What to do with such riches?
Nothing, at the moment.

Haas and his bride, Julie, already were in the process of building a new house.Cleveland CG7 Individual Irons
"We were waffling on whether to put a pool in," Haas said. "We put a pool in. But we haven't even broke ground yet, so that could even change."
Haas then let slip one toy he would love to spend some of his bonus on: a classic Mustang.
"If anybody knows of a '65 to '70 Mustang out there for sale, I really want one of those," he said. "But until I find one I really want, I won't make any huge purchases."

GWAA AWARDS: Sophie Gustafson, who has battled a severe stuttering problem during a career filled with five LPGA Tour wins and eight Solheim Cup appearances, has been selected for the Ben Hogan Award by the Golf Writers Association of America.
Brad Faxon received the Jim Murray Award for his co-operation and quotability with the media, while Maj. Dan Rooney was honoured with the William D. Richardson Award for his outstanding contributions to Cleveland CG7 Individual Irons.
They will be honoured at the GWAA's annual awards dinner April 4 in Augusta, Ga.
Gustafson, a powerful Swede who has succeeded on both side of the Atlantic, has often shied away from attention because of her stuttering problem. She made a powerful statement at the Solheim Cup by doing a lengthy television interview.

Rooney, a former F-16 pilot, returned from his second tour in Iraq and founded Patriot Golf Day and the Folds of Honor Foundation, which provides scholarships to spouses and children of military members disabled or killed in service. Patriot Day has raised more than $12.8 million in its first five years and awarded more than 2,600 scholarships. Cleveland CG7 Individual Irons
