Hahn struggles early on
* GOLF: Newport Beach Country Club head golf professional Paul
Hahn shot a 14-over-par 86 Thursday and sits in 152nd place after the
first round of the Senior PGA Championship at Laurel Valley Golf Club
in Ligonier, Pa.
Hahn carded a 44 on the front nine followed by a 42 on the back.
His round included nine pars, five bogeys, three double bogeys and a
triple bogey.
Graham Marsh carded a 4-under 68 and leads by a stroke over Dave
Barr, R.W. Eaks, Hale Irwin, a two-time winner of the Toshiba Senior
Classic -- held each March at Newport Beach Country Club, and Tom
McKnight.
Thirty-five club professionals entered the 156-player field, which
will be cut to include the top 70 and ties following today’s second
round.
Hahn tees off at 8 a.m. Eastern time on No. 10 with James Mason
and Tomori Katsuyoshi, his first-round playing partners.
Two weeks ago Hahn was the ninth alternate into the field, but
rose steadily up the ranks. He secured a spot into his first Senior
PGA Championship when D.A. Weibring, already exempt into the major
championship, won the Bruno’s Memorial Classic on Sunday.
