Peter Senior continues to have successful Australian summer with a win at the Noosa Legends Pro-Am which starts a week of Sunshine Coast Legends events.

Carding a 5-under 67 Senior finished two shots clear of his nearest rivals Mike Zilko and Michael Barry.

A stellar field of over 70 Professionals competed including Ian Baker-Finch, who enjoys playing on the E-Z-GO Legends Tour when back in Australia, along with many other high calibre Professionals such as Mike Harwood, Terry Price and David Merriman.

The Sunshine Coast lived up to its namesake and Professionals enjoying favourable weather conditions all day with only mild easterly breezes to contend with.

One of the three golf course being played this week, the Noosa Golf Club has hosted the E-Z-GO Legends PGA tour for over three years. 

Local Professional and tour regular Mark Tickle was buoyed by the support given to the event by such recognised players.

"To have the likes of Baker-Finch and Senior wishing to come and play has really caused the club and local community a great deal of excitement," said Tickle.

"The club and its members love having these players come each year and I hope that we can continue to see such talent come and compete."

Senior started his round with two birdies and after a bogey on the par 3 7th hole was able to pick up a shot on the 9th to turn at 2-under par. His form continued on the back nine with birdies on 13, 16 and 18th holes.

"I can’t remember when I was here last but I enjoyed being back," said Senior. 

"I’m thankful that Ian Baker-Finch invited me to get up here this week and I’m looking forward to the next few days."

Players will now head to Peregian Springs Golf Club on Wednesday for the second of three rounds before the leading players will compete for the Sunshine Coast Masters come Friday. For all event details click here.
