Pike's first major breakthrough was the 2006 Australian Masters at Huntingdale Golf Club. As a 21-year-old amateur and Golf Australia national squad member, he opened with a course-record-equalling 64, led during the early rounds and ultimately finished fourth, three strokes behind winner Justin Rose. The performance brought him national attention and preceded his decision to turn professional in 2007.
