Couples and Haas reunite for 2009

Published in:

Jay Haas was named captain's assistant on Thursday for the United States Presidents Cup team.

Haas was tabbed by team captain Fred Couples, who made the announcement during a conference call from this week's Champions Tour Ginn Championship.

Haas and Couples were team-mates on the first Presidents Cup team in 1994 and also played in a match together at the 1995 Ryder Cup.

"Jay has been one of my closest friends in golf for many years, and I respect his competitive instincts and leadership abilities very much," Couples said.

"Jay has been a part of the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup, and that experience will be very important to the team. I will be counting on him to help me with everything we do."
