Round one of the BMW Shepparton Victorian Senior Open, part of the Ladbrokes Legends Tour, teed off on Wednesday at Black Bull Golf Club in Yarrawonga.

"Brad67 senior Professionals and 18 elite senior amateurs are competing over three rounds for the title.

The Professional field is headlined by Australian golfing icon Peter Senior and with Michael Harwood Ossie Moore, Terry Price and 2017 Ladbrokes Legends Tour Order of Merit champion Brad Burns also in the field, competition is set to be strong.

A fresh blustery day met the players; a big change from the 37 degree days that had faced them the week before.

John Onions set the pace continuing his good form following his win at the Victorian Senior Masters shooting 1-over 73.

The wind never ceased gusting up to 50 kilometres per hour but Brad Burns managed to control his ball and sunk a 30 foot putt on his final hole to take the lead with a round of 2-under 70.

Peter Senior is three shots back on 1-over 73 alongside Onions with Tour rookies Ben Jackson and David Diaz a further shot back on 2-over 74.

Play resumes at Yarrawonga today on the Murray course and finishes up Friday on the River Course.
