SEQUIM — Youth was served Sunday when 20-year-old Mukilteo golfer Reese Jorgensen capped a wire-to-wire effort this weekend, winning the 54-hole 2023 Clallam County Amateur Championship by 13 strokes at 6 under par on Sunday.

Jorgensen led after each round of the tournament — shooting a 1-under round of 70 Friday at Sunland Golf & Country Club, following up with a up-and-down round of 2-under-par 70 at Peninsula Golf Club that featured six birdies and four bogeys — and capped by a no-doubt-about-it 3-under 69 in the final round Sunday at The Cedars at Dungeness.

Playing out of Everett Golf & Country Club, Jorgensen shot a 4-under 33 on the front nine Sunday and finished the tournament out in style with a birdie on the par-4 18th.
