Bill Haas got another big payoff Tuesday when he was picked for the U.S. team at the Presidents Cup.

Fred Couples said more than a month ago he would use one of his captain’s picks on Tiger Woods. He added Haas, who on Sunday won the Tour Championship to capture the FedEx Cup.

International captain Greg Norman selected two Australians _ Robert Allenby and Aaron Baddeley, who tied for third at the Tour Championship. Norman referred to Allenby as an “automatic pick” because of his record in Australia.



The Presidents Cup will be played Nov. 17-20 at Royal Melbourne.
