Bill Haas had to overcome some nerves and five bogeys in the final round to win the Viking Classic by three strokes on Sunday. He opened the round with a bogey on the first hole and had four on the back nine, including the par-5 18th. Haas, who never trailed in the tournament, also scattered five birdies to finish at 15-under 273 for his second victory of the year. "I had to handle my nerves since the first hole," Haas said. "But it's just not easy." The $648,000 winner's purse jumped Haas to No. 26 on the money list and earned him a spot in the Masters and the U.S. Open. His second victory of the year extended his exemption through 2013. "Just job security is pretty cool," Haas said. "I've been to Q School twice, played in the Nationwide Tour, and I know how good the guys are on the Nationwide Tour. If you get pushed back there, then it's not easy to get back out here." Haas, who also won the Bob Hope Classic, is one of seven multiple winners this year. Read more: http://sports.espn.go.com/golf/news/story?id=5645496
