Five New Zealand golfers are through to today's quarterfinals of the Australian Amateur Championships in Melbourne.

The glamour pair of world number two ranked amateur Cecilia Cho and number three, Lydia Ko are safely through after two rounds of matchplay at Victoria Golf Club.

In the men, last year's runner-up Ben Campbell and fellow internationals Ryan Fox and Mathew Perry are safely into the quarterfinals.

The kiwis face tough assignments with Ko meeting 2009 Riversdale Cup winner Ashlee Dewhurst while Cho plays Queen Sirikit Cup representative Ebony Heard.
