PGA Tour Pro Almost Avoided Disaster After “Forgetting” To Cash $ 1.2 Million Check

James Hahn won $ 1.2 million when he won the Northern Trust Open in 2015. Most people, even struggling golfers, can only dream of making that much money. And if they do, there is no way they can let that amount slip away for any reason.

However, Hahn, during a recent appearance in the Golf subclass, spoke of one such experience. Along with Colt Knost and Drew Stoltz, he revealed how he forgot to cash his first check.

James Hahn forgot a $ 1.2 million paycheck

Hahn admitted that at the time he did not set up direct deposit. However, he had a reason for it. Remembering the time he read the book ‘The Secret’ in college, he detailed, “For me, one of the things I got out of it was visualizing a check, a million dollar check coming to my house. It was all I wanted with my life… I just wanted real physical control.

“So I win the Northern Trust. I got the physical check of 1.2 million ”, Hahn added. Obviously, he was delighted. He took pictures with it and celebrated his victory. However, when it came time to deposit the check, he just said, “Oh, I put it in my glove box. Not serious. “

During this time, life went on normally and the money did not really flow into his account. Two weeks passed and his wife asked him, “How long does it take to cash a million dollar check?” You went to the bank about two weeks ago and it still hasn’t hit our account.

Suddenly he hit Hahn. He said, “I had left a million dollar check in my glove compartment in my car for two weeks and had totally forgotten about it.”

Hahn went through a hardship to deposit the check

When the American golfer finally reached his bank and presented his check, the lady at the front desk burst out laughing. It’s not every day that someone goes to the bank to cash in over a million dollars. In addition to the madness, Hahn left his ID in his car. When the assistants began to sell him services in frustration, he said: “Hey guys, I just wanna cash the check.”

“Since then, I have opted for direct deposit, because it is much easier” he said. “But losing a check in the glove box is not a good idea.”

Well, looks like Hahn passed $ 1 million pretty quickly. And the following year, he won the Wells Fargo Championship and pocketed $ 1.3 million! Once again, he achieved everything he dreamed of.
