rounds to finish in the top ten. A month later he played the Air New Zealand Shell Open. He finished in a tie for fourth with Bill Rogers. In February 1982, Cahill played the four-round Tasmanian Open. He was in "fine form" during the second round, shooting a three-under-par 69 to put him near the lead. Cahill then closed with a 67 (−5) to finish joint second, one back of champion Colin Bishop. Cahill went on a great winning streak in Western Australia in May 1982. Early in the month, he played the 36-hole Royal Fremantle Open. Cahill won the event. The following week he played the Halls Head Western Open. Cahill opened with rounds of 70 and 68 to put him in joint second, four back of leader Terry Gale. In the third round, he shot a one-under-par 71 but Gale also played well and expanded his lead to five strokes. In the final round, however, Gale played poorly opening doors to the field. Cahill took advantage and was level with Gale entering the final hole. On the 18th hole, Cahill "badly pulled" his drive but it fortuitously hit a car and bounced into the middle of the fairway. This assured par and he took the clubhouse lead. Gale, meanwhile, played the final hole very poorly, hitting his drive into the trees and his approach onto another hole. He eventually made bogey giving Cahill the win. It was Cahill's first 72-hole win in four years. Late in the month, Cahill played the CIG−Channel 9 Nedlands Masters at Nedlands Golf Club in Perth, Australia. He shot a third round 68 to put himself within two of the lead and earn rights to play in the final group with front-runner John Clifford. Cahill was under-par early and tied Clifford with a birdie at the 14th hole. They ultimately entered a sudden-death playoff which began at the 271-metre, par-4 1st hole. With his drive, Cahill "went for broke" and it finished on the green. Clifford, meanwhile, played the hole "safely" but only recorded par. Cahill recorded an easy two-putt birdie for the win. He earned $7,200 for the victory. It was his third win in four events. Cahill had now earned A$16,500 for his recent winning streak in Western Australia. He moved to 4th place on the PGA Tour of Australia money list. Due to his good play, Cahill was invited to
