Here’s a question ahead of the final round of the 66th Shell Houston Open.
What do co-leaders Stewart Cink and Bill Haas have in common besides sharinng the lead in the $6.2m event being staged at the Redstone Golf Club course?
Answer: They both went to the same barber.
And as Cink responded when it was mentioned, tongue in cheek, they have the same barbers he responded: “Same barber. Self baber.”
Shaven haired Stewart Cink and Bill Haas share the lead after three rounds of the Shell Houston Open and also share the same barber.
