PORT ANGELES — The Port Angeles tandem of Austin Worthington and Cale Wentz held off a talented Bainbridge squad to win the Duke Streeter Invitational two-man scramble held at the Peninsula Golf Club.
Worthington and Wentz combined for a 7-under-par 65, edging the Bainbridge team of Andrew Jobes and Anderson Wicklund, who shot a six-under 66, and Tom McFadden and Samuel Patterson, who shot a five-under 67.
“I could not be more proud of these gents,” said coach Bob Anderson. “This duo has put in the work and focus needed to overcome the adversity of golf and past letdowns. This is a great way for Austin to close out his senior year at his home course, and for both to carry on this momentum and focus deep into their postseason events.”
A total of seven high schools and 45 golfers competed in the event.
The Port Angeles duo of Sky Gelder and Kolby Charles shot a 3-over-par 75, good for sixth.
Sequim’s team of Cody Dunscomb and Levi Breithaupt was eighth with an 8-over-par 80, while Florentino Martinez and Joey Kang of Sequim was 11th with an 18-over 90.
