The $30,000 PGA Legends Tour event was contested on Friday, Feburary 21, by almost 80 professional golfers.
This came after Thursday’s action in the Pro Am, where amateurs got to play alongside the pros.
Twenty-seven-year pro Terry Pilkadaris dominated the competition to claim the Masters after some putting tips from American coach Geoff Mangum gave him a competitive edge.
“I’ve been doing some work online with an American guy, Geoff Mangum,” Pilkadaris told PGA Australia.
“I’m actually bringing him out next week and we’ve just been working hard on holing putts.
“I haven’t been holing any putts for the last four or five years, so finally holed some putts, which was nice.”

A second eagle on his round at the final hole saw Pilkadaris earn a share of the round one lead with fellow Victorian Shane Johnson at seven-under 65.
They had a two-stroke buffer but it was Pilkadaris who kept the foot to the floor, backing it up with a six-under 66 for a 13-under total and six-stroke win.
Reigning PGA Legends Tour Order of Merit winner Andre Stolz finished outright second at seven-under par with 66-year-old Michael Harwood winding back the clock to snare third.
“I was a bit nervous because the scores weren’t getting updated and I saw Andre (Stolz) was playing nicely,” Pilkadaris said.
“The scores hadn’t updated and he was on the 13th hole. I’m trying to work out what I am and what have you, but I hit some nice shots coming in and capitalised.”

Meanwhile, Queensland duo Brad Burns and Chris Taylor combined for a second triumph in three years at ‘The Jack Harris and Brian Twite’ Victorian PGA Seniors Foursomes Championship.
Played on the East Course of Rich River Golf Club ahead of the Moama Masters, Burns and Taylor recovered from a shaky start to post four-under 68 for a four-stroke win.
The Queenslanders came into their own across the back nine holes for a secure win ahead of Stolz and David Crawford.
