Phoenix Campbell and Rianne Mikhaela Malixi won the titles at the Australian Master of the Amateurs at Southern Golf Club in Keysborough, Australia.

In the men's competition, Campbell recorded a final round 5-under 67 to propel up the leaderboard and win by one shot over Siddharth Nadimpalli.

Campbell started the week with rounds of 74-70 to sit at even-par through 36 holes, but two rounds of 65-67 helped him make a late push for the win.

Nadimpalli finished in solo second place by soaring eight positions on the leaderboard with a 6-under 66 under in the final round, finishing at 11-under. Zackary Swanwick, who was the co-leader through 36 holes, finished in solo third place at 10-under. 

Carl Banner, William Moll, and Jye Halls finished T4 at 9-under.

The 54-hole co-leaders Max Moring and Oliver Mukherjee struggled in the final round, with Mukherjee shooting a final round 3-over 75 to finish T7 at 8-under and Moring shot a final round 4-over 76 to finish T10 at 7-under.

In the women's competition, Rianne Mikhaela Malixi shot a final round 4-under 69 to finish 7-under and erase a four-shot deficit heading into the last 18 holes.

Malixi recorded six birdies on just two bogeys in her final round.

Avani Prashanth finished in solo second place, and Nika Ito finished in solo third place at 6-under.

Malixi and Prashanth both birdied No. 16 to stay at a one-shot deficit, but two pars on Nos. 17 and 18 proved to be the backbreaker for Prashanth and give Malixi the well-earned title.

Through 54 holes, Lion Higo led the field by four shots at 7-under, but a final round 3-over 76 saw her fall to a solo fourth-place finish.

The Australian Master of the Amateurs continues to display elite amateur talent from 22 countries at the prestigious Southern Golf Club.

The men's competition played at a par 72, and the women's competition played at a par 73.
