represent Australia at the World Cup again. At the 1982 World Cup he paired with Mike Clayton. The team finished in 13th place. The The Sydney Morning Herald later described his 1982 season as "his most consistent year" in a decade. In 1983, he continued to have success. In February, he played the Victorian Open. He opened with a 70. He followed "steadily" with a 70 to take a one-stroke lead. In the third round, despite some struggles, Cahill "gave a courageous showing," shooting a 71 to retain the lead.
