Mike Harwood has taken two wins from three events on the Queensland swing of the Ladbrokes Legends Tour after a dominant round of golf at the CMBM Facility Services City Legends Pro-Am.
Firing 3-under 67 in stunning conditions, Harwood took a one-shot victory over a tightly-packed field as the level of the competition continues to heat up on the Ladbrokes Legends Tour.
Harwood, who also took out the Fraser Coast Classic last weekend is enjoying his time playing on home soil.
“This is my first break from playing in Europe in 10 years and we are really enjoying being home,” said Harwood.
“The competition out here on the Legends Tour is the perfect preparations to head back to Europe next year and no doubt my confidence is increasing being regularly in contention to win.”
In the tournament’s 16th consecutive year, a field of 45 Professionals teed it up at City Golf Club where Allan Cooper, Nigel Lane, David Merriman and Darryl Purchase finished two-shots behind Harwood with rounds of 1-under 69.
Chris Hollingsworth rounded out the top six players with a round of even-par 70.
The next stop on the Ladbrokes Legends Tour is the Beerwah Legends Pro-Am on Wednesday 31 July.

Burns secured the win following his 3-under par 65 on a shortened City layout for a three-shot win over Craig Warren and Richard Cooney, who shot the low round of the morning field.
The win see Burns extend his lead in the Order of Merit race as the Legends Tour breaks in Queensland for a week.
“It really has been an unbelievable run in recent weeks, a run that I knew was possible with my form, but not one that I thought would become a reality,” said Burns
“The course at City is not long in length, but one you really need to be accurate on. I was able to keep my ball in play for most of the round and it was really pleasing to keep this winning form going.
“I am looking forward to few day off now to recharge the batteries before the Tour tees off again at Bribie Island next week.”
The Ladbrokes PGA Legends Tour now has a five day break before returning to the Moreton Bay region next Thursday for the inaugural Bribie Island Legends Pro-Am.
