A red hot Mike Harwood has taken out the Wayne Riley Georges River Council Legends Pro-Am in style, shooting an impressive 6-under par 64 at Hurstville Golf Course on Friday.

""Starting his round on the 7th hole, Harwood got off to a fast start with birdies on his opening three holes. Another birdie and eagle rounded out his first 9 holes to be 5-under the card and set up the win.

The Hurstville layout obviously suits Harwood’s eye after a runner-up finish at this event in 2016.

“It’s nice to go one better here this year,” said Harwood.

“I generally hit the ball quite straight and this golf course isn’t very forgiving if you miss the fairways” “I made some good putts to keep the momentum going today after making a great start.”

This is Harwood’s second win in as many weeks after taking out last week’s Sylvania BMW Cronulla Legends Pro-Am.

There was a three-way tie for second with Martin Peterson, Graham Banister and Chris Hollingsworth all shooting 2-under par 68. Mike Zilko and Brad Burns rounded out the top 5 with 1-under par 69.

The Ladbrokes PGA Legends Tour moves onto Wakehurst Golf Club next Wednesday for the final event of the Sydney swing.
