The holiday haven on the NSW South Coast threw some inhospitable weather at players across the two days of the latest SParms PGA Legends Tour event, Taylor recording a one-stroke win with rounds of 73-69 for a two-under total.

Although only two players bettered Taylor’s score of 69 on day two it was the 73 he posted in Round 1 that kept Taylor in contention.

Key to that in his Mollymook debut was having a 30-year friend with intimate knowledge of the course also in his group.

“Barry and I go back 30-plus years now so it was a big help yesterday,” admitted Taylor, pictured above with West.

“He helped me around so being my first time down here in Mollymook it was a big help.

“I’d love to be coming back too, it was great.”

Nigel Lane’s Round 1 score of four-under 68 was four better than any other player in the field but a three-over 75 in Round 2 saw him finish in a tie for second with Andre Stolz (75-68), one shot back of Taylor.

“Yesterday was unbelievably tough. Nigel’s score of 68 in that wind was second to none,” Taylor said.

“On a good day that was probably a good 63, 64.

“I basically just hung on.

“I hit the ball very nicely today and was very comfortable with the green speed and everything.

“I did have a couple of slippery ones downhill but I was lucky that they both hit the hole.”

Martin Peterson (73-71) secured outright fourth with a two-day total of even par, Peter Lonard rounding out the top five with a score of three-over 147.
