Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 21 April, 2012 : - - The last ASP Women's World Title event in the Australian region is over with Courtney Conlogue taking the win over Hawaiian Malia Manuel. The top three World Title contenders were all knocked out of the event by the quarterfinals leaving the world title race very much alive.

Courtney was extatic. "I'm speechless right now! Today after winning my Quarterfinal I just tried to go and win the thing. Malia was surfing great. I'm really stoked to have won this event! I love Steph and Sally, and to have them chair me up the beach was absolutely amazing!"
