Owen Hanson, a senior at Los Alamitos, won the junior boys’ division of the World Long Drive Championship Saturday at Mesquite, Nev.

Hanson, who plays on the Los Alamitos golf team, had a best drive of 347 yards in the finals, outdistancing runner-up Erik Warshauer of Wisconsin by 16 yards.

Hanson’s drive would have been good enough for seventh place in the men’s open division.
