Hahn, who grew up in Hudson, shot 3-under 69 in the first of two rounds of stroke-play on Monday on the Home Course in Dupont, Wash. He was even through nine holes today while playing the 7,742-yard Chambers Bay course in University Place, Wash., the longest course ever used for any event conducted by the USGA.
Jeff Wilson, a 47-year-old car salesman from Fairfield, Calif., shot a 10-under 62 at the Home Course to take the first-round lead on Monday. Wilson, a three-time U.S. Mid-Am champion, had a late tee time today.
The top 64 scores after today advance to the match-play portion of the event. The eventual winner receives exemptions to the next 10 U.S. Amateurs, an exemption to next year's U.S. Open and a likely invitation to play in the 2011 Masters.
