Queenslanders Robert Rule and Pat Thomas joined the signature orange jacket club at Boulia Golf Club.
Both players marked their fourth event of the series with success by a shot.
Thomas came from Sandgate in north Brisbane.
She was highly complementary of Boulia and has a souvenir to take home alongside her new jacket.
"Thanks for the sponsor and local community. We have had a lot of fun. I've got a Boulia Golf Club shirt now and I will be able to tell everyone about Boulia," she said.
In second place was Robyne-Lee Clayton adding to her collection of prizes, runner-up at Roma and champion at Charleville.
Rule also was playing his fourth event before heading on to Mount Isa. Having never played on sand scrapes before he was surprised with the way he played.
"Boulia golf club is excellent and the entertainment we had last night was great. Thanks to my playing partners because without them I wouldn't have had a game," he said.
Rule carded the best 9-hole score of the tournament with a strong 24 stableford points today, one shot ahead of Lance Walsh from Yarrawonga-Mulwala who has signed up to play in all six events of the Outback Queensland Masters.
Last night's entertainment saw a sell out for the first time for this year's Outback Queensland Masters. Loyal supporters of headline act Busby Marou followed the Aria award winning Aussie duo to Boulia for their mesmerizing acoustics. Lovable larrackin Ray Essery had the audience in stitches with his bush poetry and tales from his days of dairy farming.
It has been a big week in Boulia, following the Camel Races over the weekend which attracts thousands of visitors to the town annually.
Cr Rick Britton, Mayor of Boulia Shire, acknowledged the efforts of the small community who have been working around the clock to provide hospitality for all the visitors.
