The numbers surrounding Davis Hartwell’s Klamath Basin Junior Championship title this week are nothing short of remarkable. Hartwell, a 13-year-old from Klamath Falls, Oregon, won the boys 12-13 division by 16 shots.
That’s not particularly hard to do when you fire a 14-under 58 to close.
Hartwell didn’t make a bogey in his second round on July 29, and he only made one of them over the course of the 36-hole tournament at Running Y Ranch in Klamath Falls. Needless to say, his second round is a new course record and by far a personal best for Hartwell. His previous low score was a still-impressive 64.

This is the fifth age-division title Hartwell has won in Oregon Junior events this year.
“I was just kind of focused on the next hole, the next drive,” the eighth grader told the Medford Trail Tribune. “I was working on my driver all day because it’s a little inaccurate right now. I was feeling confident with the putter and I just kept making birdies.”
He did, however, admit that he was “shaking and in shock” when he saw his final score.
It’s certainly an understandable reaction.
