Haas was born in Portland, Arkansas. After graduating from Dermott High School, he graduated from Louisiana State University in 1937, winning the NCAA individual championship his senior year.

Haas's first PGA Tour win, at the Memphis Invitational as an amateur, broke Byron Nelson's record streak of 11 straight victories (Nelson finished 4th). He turned pro later in 1945. He played on the 1953 Ryder Cup team.

Haas died in Metairie, Louisiana at age 88.
