Crowe won the Victorian Amateur Championship back-to-back in 2020 and 2021. In 2022, he won the Australian Master of the Amateurs and the 2022 New South Wales Amateur Championship, where he was runner-up in 2023. He represented Australia at the 2022 Eisenhower Trophy and won the 2023 Bonallack Trophy with the Asia/Pacific team. [4]

In 2022, Crowe won the New South Wales Open at Concord Golf Club, becoming the first to win both the New South Wales Amateur and Open in the same year since Jim Ferrier in 1938. [5] He was also runner-up at the PGA Classic at The National, another PGA Tour of Australasia event. He rose to 23rd in the World Amateur Golf Ranking. [4]
