Lucien Tinkler has set the pace at Bermagui shooting 6-under par 66 to lead the Bermagui Legends Pro-Am by three.

On a course playing its full length after the heavy rains in New South Wales, Tinkler took advantage of his length off the tee returning eight birdies and two bogies.

2017 Ladbrokes Legends Tour Order of Merit winner Brad Burns was solid shooting 3-under 69, just three shots back and always dangerous.

Four players sit one further shot behind on 2-under 70, Peter Woodward, Nigel Lane, John Onions and New Zealander Martin Pettigrew.

The Bermagui layout is in exceptional condition, the pure fairways and fast smooth greens giving a real tournament feel.

Play is underway for the final round.
