Alameda native James Hahn played his first Professional Golf Association (PGA) tournament of the year at the Sony Open Jan. 9 to 12. Hahn, 38, competed with more than 150 other PGA golfers in the tournament played at the Wai’alae Country Club in Honolulu, Hawaii. Hahn did not make the cut and bowed out of the tournament on Friday, Jan. 10.
Hahn looked like a lock to make the one-over-par 71 cut after shooting a one-under-par 69 in the first round. However, he shot a five-over 75 in the second round to finish with a four-over 144 after two rounds of play.
