Peter Hayes of New Zeland shot a round of 3-under 69 to win the Northern Health Ladbrokes Legends Pro-Am at Growling Frog.

Hayes, coming back from surgery that kept him out of the game for nearly 12 months finally found his form playing alongside Staysure Tour regular Peter Fowler who is fresh off a second place finish in last week’s event in Dubai.

Hayes praised the greens and the overall condition of the Growling Frog layout, six birdies and three bogeys told the story three of the birdies coming on his first three holes.

Fowler was even with Hayes playing the 18^th having had a bogey free round until that point but a five on the 430 metre par-4 to saw him fall short by one shot.

Players move on to Club Mandalay today for the final event on the Victorian leg of the Ladbrokes Legends Tour.
