“Some other guy,” James Hahn
James Hahn, who was better known for dancing than golfing just a few days ago, beat out Paul Casey and Dustin Johnson in a three-man playoff to win the 2015 Northern Trust Open at Riviera Country Club on Sunday.

According to Sobel’s report, Hahn was just a shoe-salesman with a dream at the age of 24. Now, after dropping a 25-foot bomb for birdie on the third playoff hole, the 33-year-old is a PGA Tour champion.
No wonder Hahn hit a putt from downtown to win. He channeled NBA player Steph Curry, the Golden State Warrior with a devastating three-point shot.

A lot of flashy narratives were developing on the back nine on Sunday — Sergio’s resurgence, Dustin’s comeback, Jordan Spieth’s validation, or Paul Casey beating the shank — but it was Hahn who emerged as the humble and thankful champion.
Thank you @NTrustOpen for the unforgettable memories. I am honored to have won my first PGA Tour event at Riviera CC. #grateful

So many people to thank for my win. God first, anything is possible through Him. Mom and Dad, the two people I work so hard for to be happy.

Cont2. I am thankful for my loving wife who is my rock and keeps me grounded no matter what happens on the golf course.

Hahn, who won $1.2 million at the Northern Trust Open, is scheduled to become a father in three weeks when his wife gives birth to the couples’ first child.
“Do you know how many diapers I can buy with a million dollars?” asked Hahn.

What GolfWRXers are saying about Kevin Kisner’s new Callaway X Forged CB irons
In our forums, our members have been discussing Kevin Kisner’s new Callaway X Forged CB irons which he has in the bag at this week’s CJ Cup. WRXers have been commenting on the switch and the clubs themselves in our forums.
For lots more photos, check out the full thread here.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- btyh: “Holy offset.”
- Glf_LU: “These are interesting. Not going to make a rush to judgement until I see them in person. It does look like a little more offset than I would expect to see in this model.”
- bcflyguy1: “Kisner is not one to make a lot of equipment changes (see the GBB driver he’s still using), so if these do have staying power in his bag that will be interesting to see. I have to wonder if there’s something different about his set, because like others have mentioned there appears to be more offset on his than I recall seeing in the samples I’ve had in hand.”

WATCH: PGA Tour players play hole blindfolded and it’s hilarious/amazing
As part of a Srixon campaign, four PGA Tour players recently participated in a three-hole challenge, with each hole being a different game; hole No. 1 was blindfolded, hole No. 2 was costumes and distractions, and hole No. 3 was alternate shot with a baseball bat. The teams were Smylie Kaufman and Sam Ryder against Shane Lowry and Grayson Murray.
Watch the full video below, since it is quite entertaining (albeit not the type of golf that Old Tom Morris surely had in mind), but in particular, make sure to check out the first hole where Lowry and Ryder play a full hole completely blind folded. It’s amazing to watch how badly Ryder struggles, and how Lowry nearly makes par.
What happens when 4 #PGATOUR pros take a day off?
Luckily, the cameras were rolling.
Watch @shanelowrygolf, @graysonmurray, @smyliekaufman10, and @samrydersu in #SrixonVS. pic.twitter.com/C4LJwQgmZ7— Srixon (@SrixonGolf) June 25, 2018
Cleveland-Srixon’s marketing department has been hard at work crafting these viral-esque ad campaigns; if you remember, former long-drive champion Jamie Sadlowski recently dressed as 80-year-old Grandpa Jamie to fool range-goers. That video has since gathered over 1.2 million views on YouTube.

To answer the question about diapers and a million dollars. With my 3 kids, a million just about covers it. Congratulations for sure go out to James. Keep it going. Great to watch that on television. Its all about the flat stick.
