Coral Gables, FL, Jan. 07, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Biltmore Hotel<\/a>, a national historic landmark and luxury hotel<\/a> in the heart of Coral Gables, congratulates the winners of the 57th<\/sup> annual Junior Orange Bowl International Golf Championship of 2021 \u2013 Emily Zhu of Canada and Sebastian Moss of Texas. From January 2\u20136th<\/sup>, 100 of the best amateur golfers in the country competed for the prestigious 2021 title.<\/p>\n

As with previous Junior Orange Bowl International Golf Championships, this year\u2019s tournament was highly competitive. While Canada\u2019s Zhu won the girls\u2019 division, battling back from other competitors including Chile\u2019s Antonia Matte, Zhu ultimately won by having a three-shot advantage on her last day. Sebastian Moss, who broke the tournament scoring record with Sunday\u2019s opening round of 62, finished four rounds at 12-under 272.<\/p>\n

\u201cCongratulations to Emily and Sebastian on their tremendous feat,\u201d<\/em> said Gene Prescott, Chairman & owner of the Biltmore Hotel. \u201cWe are proud to be the host for this year\u2019s group of future champion golfers as they launch their careers here with us at the Biltmore. We have seen so many professional golfers get their start with us in this competition and we can\u2019t wait to see what\u2019s in store for these new champions<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Past champions that launched their professional careers from the tournament include Jim Simon, Gary Koch, Mark Calcavecchia, Tiger Woods, Camilo Villegas, Michelle McGann, Vicki Goetz, Grace Park, Cristie Kerr, Alexis Thompson, Ricky Fowler and Sergio Garcia.<\/p>\n

As one of only nine Donald Ross designed golf courses in the top-100 golf courses in the U.S., veteran golf course architect Brian Silva (whom oversaw the restoration of the golf course) extended the overall course length to over 7,100 yards making it ideal for championship level play. \u00a0Now players get to compete with the original intended \u201cmovement\u201d of the Ross design through its 419-Bermuda grass fairways, 84 of the 85 original bunkers, and USGA specified greens that have been re-grassed with Tif-Eagle Bermuda restored to their original dimensions.<\/p>\n

The Biltmore Golf Course is also the headquarters of the University of Miami Women\u2019s Golf Team. Early in its storied history, the Biltmore\u2019s golf course played host to The Miami \u2013 Biltmore Open, one of the richest prize purse professional golf tournaments of its time.<\/p>\n
