Aussie 1-2-3 in New Zealand Senior Masters

Australian Mike Harwood won the inaugural Handa New Zealand Senior Masters at Millbrook with a final round of 70 and a ten under par total score of 206.
Harwood really won the event with his second round 66, and when he played through the first nine on the last day in three under par 33 the event was his to lose. He gave the chasers a glimmer of hope when he bogeyed 11 and 12, but a birdie on the par five 15th locked it up.
Another player from Melbourne, Michael Clayton, finished strongly with a 69 for second place on 210. He also made a couple of bogeys coming home but offset these with five birdies.
Queenslander Wayne Grady was third alone, a shot further back after a final round 72, three birdies offset by three bogeys.
Simon Owen was the leading New Zealander, tied fourth with Noel Ratcliffe. Sir Bob Charles finished in 12th equal placing after a final round of 74.
