Riviera winner James Hahn might name his daughter after the course
James Hahn won his first PGA Tour event on Sunday, but he's got something much more important happening in his life. The 33-year-old Cal product will become a first-time dad in three weeks, with his wife set to give birth to a daughter.
"To me, the biggest thing in my life right now is the birth of my daughter in three weeks," Hahn said after winning the Northern Trust Open in a playoff over Dustin Johnson and Paul Casey.
"That, to me, kind of humbles myself and kind of brings me down to reality that, you know, I'm going to be a dad here in three weeks. I couldn't be more excited, and more nervous that we don't have a name picked out yet."
The site of Hahn's first PGA Tour victory, Riviera Country Club, might make a great name.
"I'm going to have to talk to my wife about Riviera," Hahn said, drawing laughter.
He might be fighting an uphill battle on that one. But, if it helps, there are approximately 1,600 people in the United States with that first name, according to census estimates made by HowManyofMe.com.
"I think that's a good name," he continued. "But we'll see what she says when I get home."
