VICTORIA, Australia (March 20, 2011) -- Queensland’s Cameron Smith birdied the first play-off hole to defeat England’s David Coupland and win the Srixon Australian Men’s Stroke Play Championship at Victoria Golf Club on Sunday.

“At the start of the week I definitely wanted to win both titles and this is the biggest win for me so far.”

His opponent in the play-off, David Coupland, shot a superb 7-under par 65 including six birdies on the front nine to finish at 13-under par.

“He played awesome golf,” Smith said.

New Zealand’s Ben Campbell finished in third place following his 3-under par 69 to be at 9- under for the championship.

Queensland’s Marika Batibasaga and New Zealand’s Vaughan McCall finished in a tie for fourth place, six shots behind Campbell at 3- under par.

Mitch Davis (NSW) finished sixth at 2-under par.
