Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - Bill Haas has consistently won on the PGA Tour with six titles over the last six years, with two wins in the 2010 season. He fought through a crowded leaderboard on Sunday to win the Humana Challenge and pick up his first win since the 2013 season. Can he continue the momentum after this victory? His wins in 2011 (Tour Championship) and 2013 (AT&T National) helped him make his only two national teams as he played on the United States Presidents Cup teams those seasons. In his career, the only time Haas kept a little momentum after a win was in the 2010 campaign, when he won twice. His first victory that season happened in January and his second title was in October. But those wins were among just four top-10 finishes for the season. The following year his victory was the seventh and final top-10 finish of the season. It also came at the end of the season, so there wasnt much he could do. He could have used the momentum to carry him into the Presidents Cup, but he went just 1-3-1 at that event. Haas win in 2012 was early in the season as he won the Northern Trust Open at Riviera. He played 18 more events the remainder of that season, and posted just one more top-10 finish. His 2013 victory came in July and he played nine events following that title. He notched two more top-10s after the victory. History shows that Haas has struggled to carry the momentum through a full season. Can he do that this time around? Coming off a 2014 season in which he played through a wrist injury, Haas seemed surprised that he won on Sunday. Honestly, if you would have told me I would have done this last week, I would have laughed at you, Haas said afterward. Its definitely a relief. Any kind of a win is unbelievable. If Haas can carry the momentum through this season, it will depend on the health of his wrist. Well, its definitely a concern, just because any time your body doesnt feel great, you dont know whats going on. And theres a tiny little fracture and a tiny little bone in my wrist and I was able to play on it, Haas said. It doesnt hurt that bad to hit, but I do think I favor it. Ive lost distance since I hurt it and thats something Ive been complaining about. Just trying to let it get healthy enough to where I can be more aggressive through the ball. Whether or not it hurts or not, I think my bodys compensating for it a little bit, unconsciously. Haas is lowering expectations and being realistic at the same time. One bad swing could put him on the shelf for a lengthy amount of time. He has averaged 27 events a season in his nine full seasons on the tour. So with the season in full swing, it is hard to find time to take more than two or three straight weeks off to rest. Rest, patience and focus are three things Haas will need a premium on the remainder of this season if he is to carry the momentum from this victory through the year. WOODS READY TO GO Tiger Woods met with the media at the TPC Scottsdale after playing a quick nine holes and assessed the state of his game. He also reminisced about his previous appearances at the Phoenix Open. Woods has played the event three times, but not since 2001. Two of those trips were memorable. In his first appearance in 1997, Woods had a hole-in-one ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9U1bDcYbG0) on the raucous par-3 16th. Smelling and hearing the beer hit behind me on the tee box ... to see all this beer flying was crazy, Woods recalled of his ace. Two years later, his tee shot on the par-5 13th stopped behind a boulder in the desert (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4lVCF8c5zk), but he got a few friends to move it. I thought it was lighter than it was, Woods joked of the boulder. I thought I could move it (because it was a loose impediment). Evidently it took like five other dudes to do it. The funny thing about it is, they moved it the wrong way. If you remember, I hit it in the right bunker, but I wanted to hit it up the left. Woods not only chuckled several times sharing those stories, but showed off his photographic memory of his career at the same time. He went on to say that he is now healthy after a lengthy battle with the flu, and he is getting back to hitting his golf ball distances that he didnt think he would be able to get back to following his back problems last year. We may not be able see that first hand this week with cool, rainy conditions expected on Friday and Saturday. It will be interesting what Woods game looks like because he played one tournament since August. His short game will be the biggest focus of the week after he struggled with it at his own event in December.

It was their 10th extra time game of the year, and only the second one that did not got to a shootout.The World Cup can be glorious for many reasons. On Sunday it stepped up to educate viewers. Arjen Robben was fouled in the box deep into added time in the match against Mexico. The key word in that sentence is fouled. Defender Rafa Marquez stepped in and stood on the foot of Robben in the penalty area. At no level of this sport, from youth football to the World Cup, is a defender allowed to step on an opponents foot. None. It was a clear penalty. 100 times out of 100 a referee should give it. However, there was a huge outrage on social media once the decision was made. Just after contact, Robben kicked his left foot into the air and threw his arms back, flopping to the floor. Robben cheat then was trending. But is he a cheat? Let us look at the facts from Sunday, ignoring what some people think he is like as a professional. Robben, who earlier in the game was fouled and didnt get a penalty for staying on his feet, falls to the ground theatrically. However, as he is falling to the ground the real incident has already happened. The defender, Marquez, has misjudged his duties; he is too late and has dived in late and connected with the foot of Robben. It is the referees duty at this time to decide if this is a foul. His decision should not be clouded by Robbens reaction. This, of course, is easier said than done. A football referees job is one of the hardest in professional sports yet, for some, there is an expectation for him to be judge and jury in cases such as this. Was it a foul? Did the player dive? Here is what you need to know about these questions. Referees are VERY good at deciding what is and what is not a foul. They are not, and should not be, VERY good at deciding if a player is diving. To come up with this verdict you have to measure intent. This is VERY dangerous territory. For some, Robben was cheating in this scenario. For some, his actions are worse than Marquez, even though the skipper of the Mexican national team rashly DIVED in and committed a foul in the final minutes of a monumental football match. The verdict is in on Marquez. It was a foul. So, what of Robben? Those throwing around the word cheat must be sure the player had intent and desire to cheat the referee or opponent. Whenever someone is guilty of something those accusing must always be clear of the rule itself and it is worth quoting the rules on simulation which comes under FIFAs Law 12 on fouls and misconduct. Unsporting Behaviour (Simulation) Directive: If blatant simulatiion, caution.dddddddddddd. If minimal contact, consider cautioning player. For the worst part of the crime - something they call blatant simulation - the guardians of the game instructs referees to give a yellow card; exactly the same card that players receive for a poor challenge or time wasting, for example. When such a moment happens, that directly impacts a match it is worth noting UEFAs stance explained in article 10 under 1C on suspensions applied to misconduct: Suspension for two competition matches or for a specified period for acting with the obvious intent to cause any match official to make an incorrect decision or supporting his error of judgement and thereby causing him to make an incorrect decision. That rule was applied in 2009 when UEFA banned Arsenals Eduardo for simulation against Celtic in the Champions League. However, as this case proved, it is very difficult to judge whether a player has obvious intent to dive. Arsenal rightly challenged the two game ban applied to their striker and it was overturned. We are now at a stage in 2014 where we are evaluating how every footballer goes down to the ground under a challenge with many rushing to the assumption that they are diving cheats. This is not helping anyone. As Arsenal proved when they overturned the Eduardo ban, accusing someone of intentionally trying to simulate is very dangerous. Asking a referee to do the same is even more moronic and the game is already at a crossroads with this as fouls are now being missed based on what happens directly afterwards. And this is the biggest concern. Fouls, seen by referees, are being missed because of the outrage over simulation. Fouls are already being missed as it is. Not through incompetence but because the game is so difficult to officiate. Referees rely on players to help them with this and if a player falls down theatrically under a legitimate foul, no ones attention should be turned to the latter. This, of course, is as likely as officials missing clear penalties and players simulating. The clear obsession with this area of the sport is growing and growing, particularly from a crowd who dont watch the game as often. Despite the obsession, the crime remains a difficult one to judge. Perhaps, then, energy is better used elsewhere? Dont count on it. For example, if Robben had been booked for diving, would there have been such an outrage when Netherlands would have been denied a clear penalty in the dying minutes? Not even close.
