[4] Billy Iles and Dan Soutar, one of the NSW players, were tied on 158 after the first day's play.

[4] Soutar won after the second day with a score of 313, a stroke ahead of Tom Howard, another NSW professional, with Iles dropping back to third place.

Ted Smith, from Tasmania, trailed after the first day, but with rounds of 73 and 76 at Royal Melbourne, won by 8 strokes.

Ted Smith, now a Victorian professional, won again in 1926, at Royal Melbourne, with some good scoring in difficult conditions on the second day.

[10] Smith was in the United States at the time of the 1927 championship and didn't defend his title at Metropolitan Golf Club.

Defending champion, Rufus Stewart, reached final in 1929, but lost 6&5 to Reg Jupp.

[22] Ossie Pickworth led the qualifying by 9 strokes and won the championship, beating Sam Walsh 10&9 in the final.

Ossie Pickworth won his third successive title and fourth in all, finishing two strokes ahead of Jack Harris.

[33][34] For some years the prize money on offer had not attracted out-of-state professionals, but in 1960 three local businesses sponsored the event, which had prize money of £1,200, attracting a number of the leading New South Wales professionals.

[35] However, Harris retained his title and won the £400 first prize, with Kel Nagle a stroke behind in second place.

Harris won for the fifth time, two ahead of the Australian Open winner, Frank Phillips.

Three New South Wales professionals won this period, Kel Nagle in 1962, Bruce Devlin in 1964 and Alan Murray in 1965, with Harris winning for the sixth time in 1963.

[44][45] Loss of sponsorship meant that prize money dropped to A$15,000 in 1980, below the minimum for a tour event.

[50] The event, which eventually had prize money of A$40,000, was won by Vaughan Somers, his second win in the championship.

Prize money rose to A$50,000 in 1984, Wayne Riley winning after a playoff against Ian Baker-Finch.

[54] The Warrnambool event was cancelled in 1987 because of the lack of TV coverage and the championship was played at the end of December, as part of the 36-hole Carpet Call pro-am.
