The high school junior wins his first amateur event on a perfect weekend at the Southern California coastal gem

Jack Townsend shot the round of the weekend, a 5-under 67, to win the Coronado City Championship at Coronado Municipal Golf Course.

Townsend, a high school junior from San Diego, started the day two shots behind overnight leader Amadeo Figus, but overcame the deficit to win by two shots at 7-under 137. Figus closed with a 71 to finish solo second, two shots back.

Forbes Collins II (70) was third at 2 under, with Adam Power (71) and Simone Colozza (69) rounding out the top five.

Last year's champion Mark Williams had a pair of 73s to finish tied for 8th in his title defense.

In the Senior division, Jon Reilly beat John Hoffman on the first playoff hole after both players finished at 1-under 143. They were seven shots ahead of the third-place finisher, Tony Ralph.
