Good Start For Fresh Express Classic Hopeful

Published March 29, 2010

  

Just a quick update on James Hahn (above), who made a great impression on everyone at our Fresh Express Classic Media Day on March 16:

Having never played in a Nationwide Tour event prior to this year, Hahn has made the cut in all five 2010 events (T9, T21, T51, T15 and T5).  That puts him 13th on the money list ($51,892) coming into the Fresh Express Classic at TPC Stonebrae, April 15-18.  The Nationwide Tour is idle until then.

For Hahn, 28, who was born in Seoul, South Korea, and now lives in Alameda, the Fresh Express Classic will be a “home game.”  Not only does he practice and play at TPC Stonebrae when not on the road, but he is a Cal grad (2003) who played on the Golden Bears golf team.  Since then he occasionally has juggled several jobs at once to make ends meet, but now can focus solely on his golf career.

While it’s far too early to predict, Hahn’s earnings to date put him approximately one-quarter of the way toward making the Top 25 on the final money list, which would secure an exemption to the PGA TOUR for 2011.  (Last year the 25th player earned $191,467.)

Stay tuned ...
