The former Muswellbrook Golf Club junior captured the 2017 Riversdale Cup by three shots.
He now follows in the footsteps of Muswellbrook star Kurt Barnes, who lifted the trophy in 2003.
Perry, representing The Vintage, held off Avondale’s Harrison Endycott after rounds of 73, 66, 66 and 68.
Overall, he finished 15 under par.
After leading by one shot into the final round, the 22-year-old not only held his nerve but went onto increase his narrow advantage – and take the 72-hole tournament by three strokes.
Last year’s winner Endycott amassed a 12-under total of 276.
At the conclusion of his impressive round, Perry said that the Riversdale Cup victory was “the best of my career”.
The Riversdale Cup is Australia’s second oldest amateur golf tournament.
More than 250 men and women from around the world compete in the Victorian event each year.
The history of the Cup is such that most of Australia’s leading professional golfers have played in the tournament over the years, including Jason Day, Adam Scott, Mark Leishman, Geoff Ogilvy, Robert Allenby and Aaron Baddeley – the list goes on and on.
