He won the Sandwich & Grant invitationals & rolled his conference finish into a victory at the Vernon Hills Regional. (NWHerald 11/6/12) Boys Golf: Class 2A Belvidere N Sectional: By Seth Dulian editorial@nwherald.com ....there was also disappointment for Richmond-Burton, which finished second at the Vernon Hills Regional but couldn't keep the conditions from affecting its momentum into the sectional. "The weather had a bad effect on us," R-B coach Brad Tichenor said. "We had to club up a lot more today. The wind was a huge factor for everyone." R-B's Jordan Hahn, who won the Vernon Hills Regional with a 4-over-par 76, could muster only an 89. Still, he was at least five strokes ahead of his teammates. "We've played better," Tichenor said.

(NWHerlad 10/8/12) Hahn wins, leads Richmond-Burton golfers to sectionalBy PATRICK MASON - pmason@shawmedia.com VERNON HILLS – Richmond-Burton sophomore Jordan Hahn needed an extra hole, but he got it done. Hahn shot a 4-over-par 76 and led the way for the Rockets as they placed second at the IHSA Class 2A Vernon Hills Regional at White Deer Run with 326 strokes. The Rockets qualified for Monday's Belvidere North Sectional at Timber Pointe in Poplar Grove, but the sophomore wasn't done yet. "Jordan was on fire," R-B coach Brad Tichenor said. "He came off a really good conference match where he shot even par and he kept plugging away on every hole and didn't let anything get to him." Hahn and Antioch's Grant Smith were even through 18, both shooting a round-best 76, and headed for a playoff, so it was only fitting that their first two strokes were nearly identical on the playoff hole, the 424-yard par-4 10th. The two found themselves on the green after two strokes putting for birdie. Smith's 18-foot putt lipped out of the cup. "There was a couple holes that could have went on because we were both pretty close to each other on the green," Hahn said. "After I saw him miss, I just had to focus on trying to make mine."

“All nine could possibly advance as a team,” R-B coach Brad Tichenor said. “This has been the best team I’ve had as a coach at Richmond. We want to get in as a team for the very first time.” See full article @ http://www.mchenrycountysports.com/articles/2012/10/01/r_4yhwdfovryaswthxpoacaa/index.xml Prep Zone: Rockets’ boys golf coach glad Hahn will be backBy JOE STEVENSON – joestevenson@shawmedia.com Richmond-Burton boys golf coach Brad Tichenor savored the moment while watching Saturday’s Big Northern Conference junior varsity boys golf tournament. Another BNC coach approached Tichenor to tell him what a likeable young man the Rockets’ Jordan Hahn is. Hahn won the varsity BNC Tournament individual title, his second in a row, two days earlier. There is something more exciting for Tichenor than Hahn’s ability and his sterling reputation. “He gets to stick around two more years,” Tichenor said. Hahn, a sophomore, shot even-par 72s each of the past two years at Timber Pointe to win the BNC title and could have a shot at winning the tournament four times. “I tried to go out and play my own game and tried to do the same as I did last year, and I played well and shot the same score,” said Hahn, who helped the Rockets to third place as a team. Hahn remembers picking up Little Tikes clubs, somewhere around age 2, and following his father Ron around. By seventh grade, he had real clubs and was taking lessons. Last summer, his mother Cami was hauling him around the Midwest to play in Illinois Junior Golf Association and Mid-American Junior Golf Tour events. Hahn works with teaching professional Kiel Alderink at Todd Sones Impact Golf Academy. The facility is run out of White Deer Run in Vernon Hills, which happens to be the host course for Tuesday’s Class 2A Vernon Hills Sectional. “The season has gone well, I’m shooting some pretty good numbers,” Hahn said. “I hope to keep it going, hopefully and put up some good numbers at state.” Hahn was a Northwest Herald All-Area second-team selection last year when he missed qualifying for the Class 2A state tournament by one stroke. He says he didn’t dwell on the disappointment at the end of the 2011 season. “I’m really proud of him, he’s playing great golf,” Tichenor said. “He had a great back nine [to start Thursday] and that set up a good round for him. He’s a good kid, very polite and respectful and he enjoys all aspects of golf.” Tichenor figured Hahn would handle the expectations of trying to repeat with aplomb. “He knows what he’s capable of and knows what he needs to do,” Tichenor said. “I just told him to go out and relax and enjoy the game of golf. If you make a mistake, just play the next shot.” Hahn’s short-term goals include another trip to Timber Pointe, a course on which he is quite comfortable, for the Class 2A Belvidere North Sectional. He appears to be on the right path for his longer term aspirations. “Definitely one of my dreams and goals is to achieve playing college golf,” Hahn said. “I’d like to play at as high of a level as I can achieve and work toward that.” • Joe Stevenson is a senior sports writer for the Northwest Herald.

POPLAR GROVE – Richmond-Burton sophomore Jordan Hahn shot an even-par 72 for the second straight year to take his second straight Big Northern Conference individual title. “He had five birdies on the back nine and he did really good today,” R-B head coach Brad Tichenor said. “There’s really no other way to explain it.” In addition to Hahn, Bobby Meyers (82), Joey Pegura (84) and Timmy Duez (87) were the scorers for R-B.
