He’s won on the US tour, he’s won more than a handful of Australian Open, PGA and Masters crowns – and now he’s won a Portarlington Skins Game.
Peter Lonard nipped a sand wedge on the shootout decider on Monday night to win $3500, eclipsing David McKenzie ($500) and skinless pros Andre Stolz, Matt Milne and Stacey Peters.

“Oh it’s one of the highlights, for sure,” Lonard joked on the eve of the Sheen Panel Service Legends Pro-Am.

“Nah, it was just good fun out there – a great night and great to see so many people out watching.”

Indeed, hundreds of visitors flocked to watch the shootout featuring the three Legends Tour players, plus club pro Milne and former club champ turned Vic Open hero Peters.
And they stayed for some great fun, music, food and ambience after the event with a hole-in-one contest raising more than $230 for Portarlington charity group Food Assist 3223.

“It was so good to see such a great turnout from the community and great to see the support for a relatively new event from our members and visitors,” club CEO Michael Phillips said.

“A big thanks to everyone who made such a great atmosphere around the club and to all five pros who brought it to life in such great spirit.”
