Clarkston PGA Tour star Dahmen goes low with a 58 during his break

Joel Dahmen., the PGA Tour star from Clarkston, Wash., went lower than low during a round at Mesa Country Club.

Dahmen was playing with some friends at the Mesa Country Club in Mesa, Arizona, for a friendly round of golf and proceeded to set a course record.

Dahmen, who calls Scottsdale home, opened with a birdie on the par-5 1st. He also birdied the par-5 5th hole. After a par on the par-4 6th, things got crazy good. Dahmen went 12 under on the next 12 holes, with three eagles and six birdies.

In fact, starting on No. 7, Dahmen wrote down: 3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-2-3-3, finishing with a birdie-birdie-eagle flurry. Note that that’s a 26 on the back nine. A mere birdie on 18 would’ve give him the cherished 59 but he went ahead and eagled the par-5 hole for a 58. Ho-hum. The scorecard shows five sets of tees. We’re going to assume he played ‘The Tips’ (yea, that’s how it’s printed), which measured 6,887 yards.

Dahmen posted a photo with the five friends he played with, including Ian Happ and Kyle Schwarber, teammates on the Chicago Cubs. Happ’s got game. He shot a 69. Schwarber shot an 81, the worst score of the group.

Dahmen tweeted after the round “I hold the course record at all my home courses except @mesacountryclub. That changed today with some of my good friends along for the ride.
