The strategic narrative of the day was defined by Florimo’s steady composure while the overnight leader, Chris Malec, struggled with his rhythm, eventually slipping to a tie for 8th after a 75. The primary hurdle for the leaders was the swirling Yarra Valley winds, which made distance control on the back nine a grueling test of precision.

Tactically, Florimo’s "moving day" momentum carried into the finale, where his back-to-back birdies on the 11th and 12th holes proved to be the turning point. Haydn Barron mounted a significant challenge, matching Florimo's 69 to finish solo second at 12-under par.

A five-way tie for third place included Quinnton Croker and Declan O'Donovan, who all finished at 11-under. The victory marks a career-defining moment for Florimo, securing his future on the tour, while John Lyras completed an impressive comeback from injury by finishing in a tie for 8th alongside Malec.
