Wyong's Ethan Forsyth took out the main Vardon Trophy event honours by a shot from Wellington's Kurt Cusack and Tamworth's Nathan Mann.
It came down to the final hole with Forsyth and Mann tied after 37 holes.
Forsyth went on to par, and Mann bogie, the 18th to finish with an even par 140 for the two rounds.

Mann, who had led Forsyth and Cusack by two shots heading into Sunday after firing four-under for the first round, had to settle for third after Cusack pipped him on a countback.
There was some local success with Tamworth's Chris Savovski winning the nett event.
Just over 40 golfers teed off in the annual tournament, which was making a return after being cancelled last year in light of the COVID pandemic.
It was a busy few days on the fairways, with events running from Good Friday through to Easter Sunday, and over 100 starters for both the Good Friday individual stableford for men and women, and Saturday morning stableford event.
The recent floods saw an influx of visitors. Club pro Brock Sampson said probably over 50 per cent of the starters were from out of town due to a lot of golf courses being closed or partially closed.
