Campbell amassed a total of 275 and McIntosh 276 to finish top over 35 professionals.

“On Saturday I shot one over par 73 and I got a bit nervous in the first couple of holes because I haven’t been in a final group much but I handled it well,” he said.

“Unfortunately I didn’t get to make many birdies that day. I had one birdie and two bogeys. I did go out and tried again and it did work for me today as I shot 69! But that is all golf is about.”

The other Fijian pro Amitesh Chandra who is based at Laucala Island slipped to the 23rd spot for (+14), 302 (72, 77, 77, 76). He collected AU$524.67.
