Peter Fowler has claimed victory in the $70,000 David Mercer Senior Classic at Killara Golf Club after a round of 2-under 70 while Michael Harwood earns a start in the 2018 KitchenAid U.S. Senior PGA Championsip.

""The richest single day Ladbrokes Legends Pro-Am event in the country attracted a stellar field including Craig Parry, Rodger Davis and Peter Lonard who made his debut on the Ladbrokes Legends Tour.

For Fowler, success has come regularly at Killara having won the 2011 Australian PGA Seniors Championship and now successfully defending his 2017 David Mercer Senior Classic title.

“I really enjoy competing at Killara, the hospitality and atmosphere is fantastic. It is great to see David Mercer at the event and the legacy he has passed on to current Professionals Greg Hohnen and Patrick Fairweather,” said Fowler.

The win also elevated Fowler to the top of the Ladbrokes Legends Tour Order of Merit, $216 clear of Michael Harwood who will receive a start in the KitchenAid US PGA Seniors Championship as Fowler is already exempt.

“I am really looking forward to representing the Ladbrokes Legends Tour at the event at the end of May and hope I can perform well,” said Harwood.

Steve Conran, Darryl Purchase and Martin Petersen finished tied second with 1-under par rounds of 71.
