SEBRING, Fla. - Landon Michelson from Miami, FL fired 203 (68-68-67) to win the 2021 Citrus Golf Trail Open on the Deer Run course at Sun 'N Lake Golf Club.
His win earned him $15,000, the biggest check in MLGT history.
Michelson started the final round tied at -8 with Maxwell Sear and Pete Kellermann. John VanDerLaan and Josh Hart posted final rounds of 64 and 66 to come from behind and post -11. Michelson was also -11 after a birdie on #15. He then made a 10 foot birdie putt on #16 and a 20 foot birdie putt on #17 (the hardest par-4 on the course) to get to -13 and take a two shot lead to the last. He two putted for par from 25 feet to slide on the orange jacket and be crowned the innagural Citrus Golf Trail Open champion.
Ironically Michelson's only other MLGT win came on this same course in a smaller event back in April.
A huge thank you to Sun 'N Lake Golf Club and it's members for hosting and to the Citrus Golf Trail for sponsoring the event and adding $25k to the purse!
