Michael Harwood has taken out back to back victories at the Sylvania BMW Cronulla Ladbrokes Legends Pro-Am.

Things got tight on the back-9 but Harwood would stay solid for a one shot victory. Pushing him all the way was joint overnight leader David Merriman who birdied the last for a runner up finish.

Three players would start the final round in the lead but Michael Harwood who was defending champion would prevail with rounds of 67 and 69 for a 2-under total of 136.

After chipping in on the 10^th hole to get to 5-under for the tournament it look like plain sailing for Harwood. But bogeys on the 11^th,13^th and 17^th made things a lot tighter. Standing on the 18^th tee Harwood would see his closet rival Merriman sink a 20 footer for birdie to get within one shot. Harwood’s experience would shine through closing out with a fine par for a one shot victory.

“It’s a great event that they put on here at Cronulla. My form of late hasn’t been great but I’m happy to have been able to get the job done today," said Harwood.

Fighting all the way would be the ever consistent David Merriman his scores of 67 and 70 for a 1-under total of 137 to finish with runner up honours.

Tied for third was be one of the overnight leaders Graham Banister and Paul Powell who would shoot the low round of the tournament 3-under 66 on the final day. They finished with even par totals of 138

But the story of the day came from amateur Garry Beard who would walk away with a Series 1 BMW for his hole-in-one on the par 3 18^th.

“I can’t believe it, I’d only had 5 stableford points all day so it’s fair to say I didn’t see that shot coming," said Beard
