The 21-year-old led by two shots heading into the final round, but a brief collapse on the front nine saw him fall three behind Bo Jin at the turn. However, with only nine holes of the tournament remaining, Crowe clawed back four birdies between the 11th and 15th.
Because of the superb run, he saw himself retake the lead on the penultimate hole, with his nearest challenger, Jin, making a costly double bogey at the par 3 17th after finding the water.
After two blows, Crowe managed to two-putt the last to confirm the victory and add his name on the tee sheets at Augusta in April and Royal Liverpool in July.
Crowe is currently ranked inside the top 50 of the World Amateur Rankings
Following the stunning victory, Crowe said: "I don't think it's sunk in yet but it feels amazing right now. [I have] goosebumps, it's absolutely awesome. I came out here this week with something to prove and I'm extremely proud of myself. I hung in there. It took a lot of digging deep."
