Heading into the final round, Harwood trailed the former Oatlands Head Professional Mike Zilko by one stroke however the ultra-consistent Harwood proved too strong finishing with a round of 66 to record his second win for 2012.
In his acceptance speech Harwood thanked the Oatlands Golf Club and commended its condition, highlighted by the number of low scores recorded over the two days.
Also finishing prominently were well renowned touring professionals Peter Fowler (-2), David Merriman (-2), Terry Price (even par) and Rodger Davis (+3).
With Legends of Australian Golf teeing it up alongside regular club golfers, it is little wonder the circuit is continuing to grow. The international Legends circuit now moves to Tasmania before heading further east for the New Zealand swing of events.
The Oatlands Golf Club now prepares for this week’s Bing Lee/Samsung NSW Ladies Open with the leading female golfers from Australia and abroad teeing it up in the ALPG Tour sanctioned event.
