With undulating tree-lined fairways drawing comparisons to the famed Augusta National, the venue has played host to the Australian Senior PGA Championships and NSW Senior PGA Championships and hopes to continue a long legacy with the PGA of Australia with the new NSW Senior Masters tournament.

Players were reminded early of the quality of the Mollymook Hilltop layout with any stray shot being fully penalised.

Victorian Tim Elliott had his radar dialled in from day one of the Ladbrokes Legends Tour tournament to take the overnight lead with a round of 2-under 70.

Elliott was one of only two players to shoot under par in the opening round thanks to a hole-in-one on the signature 17^th hole.

A strong westerly wind blew across the course in the final round making play difficult for the 61 professionals on course.

A handful of players came to the table, however, with Guy Wall, Glenn Joyner, Peter Fowler and Peter O’Malley at one stage preparing for a playoff after all finishing on 2-over par for the event in eventual second place.

A final round of even-par was enough for overnight leader Elliott to secure a four-stroke victory with a 2-under 142 total.

“This golf course is one of the best we get to play all year,” Elliott said.

“It was in amazing condition and the greens were tricky but perfect to putt on. It’s great to win the inaugural NSW Senior Masters.”

The Ladbrokes Legends Tour will head to Canberra for the Fairbairn Legends Pro-Am on Monday.
