Jay Haas was a nine-time winner on the PGA Tour who finished in the top 10 of a major 16 times without winning.
Haas, from St. Louis, Missouri, is the first golfer to make our ranking without having won a Masters, U.S. Open, British Open or PGA title.
His best showings were tied for third place finishes in the 1995 Masters and 1999 PGA and a tie for fourth in the 1995 U.S. Open. He never recorded a top 10 in a British Open.
In the 1995 Masters, Haas held the lead after 36 holes because of a second-round 64. But he shot 72-70 over the final 36 to lose to Ben Crenshaw by three shots.
In the 1999 PGA, Haas again held the lead after the second round. But a third-round 75 put him five shots behind Tiger Woods. Haas ended up losing to Woods by three shots with Sergio Garcia finishing second.
