Lucien Tinkler has taken out the Lion Nathan Bermagui Legends Pro-Am.

Tinkler backed up his first round of 66 with 1-under par 71 to win by three shots from Queenslanders Brad Burns and Nigel Lane.

On a day that was nearly cut short by a late thunderstorm, Tinkler managed to hang on, even with Burns eagling the par-5 16^th to get within two shots.

Tinkler admitted that after cruising to 66 in round one, the 71 came much harder but playing with Burns pushed him to grind out the win.

The Bermagui Course was presented immaculately and has become one of the most popular stops on the Ladbrokes Legends Tour.

Ladbrokes Legends Tour chairman Terry Price praised the committee and staff at the club and told them how much the Legends Tour enjoys coming to the area.

The tour now moves on to Batemans Bay to play Catalina on Thursday and Friday.

Lucien Tinkler has set the pace at Bermagui shooting 6-under par 66 to lead the Bermagui Legends Pro-Am by three.

On a course playing its full length after the heavy rains in New South Wales, Tinkler took advantage of his length off the tee returning eight birdies and two bogies.

2017 Ladbrokes Legends Tour Order of Merit winner Brad Burns was solid shooting 3-under 69, just three shots back and always dangerous.

Four players sit one further shot behind on 2-under 70, Peter Woodward, Nigel Lane, John Onions and New Zealander Martin Pettigrew.

The Bermagui layout is in exceptional condition, the pure fairways and fast smooth greens giving a real tournament feel.

Play is underway for the final round.
