James Hahn returns to a course where he’s proven to go low. A 74 in round two was all that kept the second-time FedEx Cup Playoffs qualifier from challenging Rory McIlroy for the title at TPC Boston in 2016. His six-under 65 in round two was one off the low round of the week and two more rounds in the 60s led to a T5 finish.

At No. 60 in the FedEx Cup, all it should take is a made cut for Hahn to move on to Conway Farms next week. That’s been a problem for Hahn in his last two starts, but strong form is not far in the rear view mirror.

Hahn picked up his third top 10 of the season with a T10 at the Canadian Open and followed it up with a T13 at the PGA Championship.

Against elite fields like this week’s, Hahn made the cut at the Masters and Open Championship and tied for sixth at the Memorial.

Hahn isn’t elite an any one category, which has opened him up to dry spells in his up-and-down PGA Tour career. Still, he hits hit far enough (85th on Tour in driving distance) and straight enough (64th in fairway accuracy) to keep up with the big dogs if the rest of his game is sharp.
