Bay of Plenty are the Freyberg Masters Champions for the first time after a dramatic final day at the Coringa Golf Club in Christchurch.
The win last week marks the Bay's first title at the event since it began in 1986 at Paraparaumu Beach.
The Bay, who only emerged as a contender late in the week, defeated Southland 3-2 in their crucial round nine contest to secure their first title while Aorangi slipped up on their chance to make history by losing to Auckland.
In one of the closest contests in recent years, the Bay won 3-2 on six occasions to secure the title by just half a team point.
They recorded 6.5 points from a possible eight points compared to Aorangi's six points.
