In its second year the iconic MacKenzie layout attracted a stellar field including Peter Senior, Peter Lonard and Rodger Davis.
The afternoon start saw the players battle temperatures in the high 30s along with the traditional hard and fast greens synonymous with Royal Melbourne.
Defending champion Peter Senior was looking good to make it back to back wins but a bogey, bogey finish saw him slip to 2-under 70 to tie for third with Peter Lonard and Steve Conran.
Five birdies in a round of 69 saw John Onions take second position on his own but it was Mike Harwood who continued his great form, winning for a fifth time in nine starts, firing 4-under 68.
Harwood praised the stellar course conditions at Royal Melbourne while reminiscing of days gone by with retired Club Professional Bruce Green.
The Ladbrokes Legends Tour saw 42 of its Senior Professionals compete in the Bruce Green Legends Tour Pro-Am at Royal Melbourne.

The event which was set up to honour Club Professional Bruce Green, who recently announced he would retire in July, attracted a stellar field including Rodger Davis who returned to the scene of his Bicentennial Classic win 30 years ago and 2012 Australian Open winner Peter Senior.
The iconic venue lived up to its reputation with firm fast greens testing all players.
Five scores were equal to or better than the par of 72 but it was Senior who once again showed his class with a 4-under 68.
Senior was flawless tee to green, hitting all the greens in regulation along with a couple of par-5s in two.
At the presentation Senior praised the course and the consistency of the greens and explained that he couldn’t pass up the opportunity to come and play Royal Melbourne once again.
A special presentation was made to Bruce Green during the prize giving and his popularity with the members was endorsed by the fact that the event sold out to Royal Melbourne members in less than three minutes after opening.
The Ladbrokes Legends Tour now moves on to the Mornington Peninsula starting at Eagle Ridge on Monday.
