This consisted of a 36-hole stroke-play qualification stage, played in a single day, followed by match-play to determine the champion.

[4] In both 1911 and 1912, Norman Fowlie had led the stroke-play stage but in 1913 he was challenged by Clyde Pearce, who had won both the Australian Open and Australian Amateur in 1908, as well as losing the final three times in the amateur.

Norman Fowlie reversed the 1913 result, winning by three strokes from Clyde Pearce, with rounds of 80 and 77.

Three players tied for second place on 161, Arthur Geere, Percy Maunder and John Walker.

[7] 1922 saw the first professional winner, Maunder's score of 161 beating Geere by a stroke.
