James Hahn breaks out of a slump, Rickie Fowler wobbles on the weekend, Rory McIlroy gets closer, Anthony Kim resurfaces and more in this week's edition of the Monday Scramble:
The last time James Hahn played a final round, it was Super Bowl Sunday. He had missed eight consecutive cuts. He had gone 21 rounds without a score in the 60s.
“You just keep believing,” he said, and so that’s exactly what he did, waiting patiently for the one week when his ball-striking was solid and his putter got hot and his confidence flowed.
It all came together last week at Quail Hollow, one of the toughest courses on the PGA Tour schedule, when Hahn shot 9-under 279 and defeated Roberto Castro on the first playoff hole.
