Lucien Tinkler has won the Club Catalina Legends Pro-Am by one shot in a tight finish from overnight leader David Merriman, second placed Peter Woodward and Glenn Joyner.

Securing his second straight win on the NSW South Coast swing, Tinkler fired a great second round of 69, 3-under par including a hat-trick of birdies on the 13^th, 14^th and 15^th holes only to give a shot back on the last with a closing bogey.

Merriman stood on the 17^th tee needing two pars to finish in a tie with Tinkler already in the clubhouse, however, a  closing bogey saw him finish one stroke back.

Woodward birdied the 17^th hole to get within one and had a birdie opportunity on the 36^th hole which slid past the hole to also finish one shot adrift.

Glenn Joyner had a solid last round of 2-under par 70 to complete the three-way tie for second place.

The conditions were pretty much a carbon copy of round one, with early showers clearing to a cool and partial sunny day and light winds. The second round scores reflected the conditions.

Other scores of note in the final round included a four under par 68 from Mike Harwood and a 71 from Tim Elliott

The early players were challenged with a cold and breezy start with 73 being the best of the morning field.

Merriman was over par early in his round before mixing 6 birdies with a further two dropped shots. The conditions will be similar for the final round, with many players still in contention for the title.
