Gusting winds in the opening round of the St Georges Basin Legends Pro-Am weren’t able to stop Steve Conran from getting the hot start he needed to win in New South Wales.
A first round of 5-under 65 set Conran up for an impressive 9-under two-round total to claim a one-shot victory at St Georges Basin Country Club.
A number of challengers presented in the final round but Conran was able to remain steady, crediting his mental strength for a second scorecard of 4-under 66.
“When I played some holes here on Monday I felt the course was really suited to my game,” Conran said.
“Just because a course sets up well for you doesn’t always mean you play well so I’m really glad I got the job done.”
Identical rounds of 67, 65 from Michael Harwood, Shaquill Mongol and John Onions saw the trio tie for second place at 8-under the card.
Brad Burns, Richard Gilkey, Grant Kenny and Allan May highlighted the level of competition on the Ladbrokes Legends Tour to finish T5 at 4-under.
A further five players including Peter Senior, Glenn Joyner and Terry Price tied for ninth place at 3-under 137.
The Ladbrokes Legends Tour will next tee it up at the Worrigee Links Legends Pro-Am.
