Breezy conditions made scoring tricky at the Pacific Harbour Golf Course where the winners were the only two players of the 40-man field to record rounds under par.
The victory marks back-to-back wins for Conran whose round featured four birdies and three bogeys.
After a shaky start to the tournament at 2-over through six holes, four birdies and a single bogey on the way to the clubhouse improved Backwell’s round to see him claim the joint win.
Tod Power and Bryan Wearne finished tied for third place at 1-over the card, just one shot ahead of Martin Peterson in fifth place at 2-over.
Despite the challenging weather both Backwell and Conran praised the facility and the condition of the course.
“The tournament was fantastic,” said Conran. “It’s a tricky layout so you really have to be strategic with your tee shots and think about how you’re going to play it.”
The Ladbrokes Legends Tour moves to Wynnum Golf Club on 5 August for the two-day Bartons / BMD QLD Senior PGA Championship.
The Ladbrokes Legends Tour returned to the Pacific Harbour Golf & Country Club today for their second Pro-Am.

Darren Rix returned to defend his title from last year, though it would be Richard Backwell that would secure the win.
Backwell fired a 3-under par 69 to finish one shot ahead of Tod Power, who were the only two players to break par.
“It’s been great to play the past two days on Bribie Island. The island boasts two magnificent courses, and courses that any avid golfer should make the effort to come and play,” said Backwell.
“Pacific Harbour is such a visually intimidating course and it only takes one poor shot to make a big number.
“It’s been a long couple of weeks of travel throughout Asia and Europe, so I am really looking forward to spending some time at home over the weekend before heading to Mt Coolum on Monday.”
The Legends will now make their way slightly north to the Sunshine Coast, with the Mt Coolum Legends Pro-Am on Monday and the Beerwah Legends Pro-Am teeing off on Wednesday.
