The 28-year-old, who started the day by snatching pole position, made the most of late drama for Holden's James Courtney to steal the lead and secure the win in the 300km race.
Courtney was on course for his first victory on the streets of Surfers Paradise when a steering arm broke in his Holden Racing Team Commodore, forcing him to retire with less than 20 laps remaining.

Race 31 - Sun 27 Oct at 7:30pm EDT
The failure was heartbreaking for Courtney's co-driver Greg Murphy, with the veteran New Zealander hoping to end an eight-year wait for a race win.
Reynolds in the end crossed the line unchallenged with New Zealander Fabian Coulthard second and veteran Russell Ingall finishing third to secure a podium in his final visit to the Gold Coast as a full-time driver.
Holden's Jamie Whincup put his Saturday shocker behind him to finish fourth and move within six points of championship leader Craig Lowndes, who came in eighth.
Bathurst champion Mark Winterbottom's championship hopes took a big hit, with a broken shock absorber during co-driver Steve Richards' stint putting the Ford ace well back in the field.
Winterbottom managed to limp home in 18th but is now 88 points off the top of the standings with just four races remaining.
His teammate Will Davison, the fourth man in the championship hunt, finished ninth and sits 121 points behind Lowndes.
The next event of the V8 Supercars championship is the Phillip Island 360 on November 22 to 24.

DAVID Reynolds took pole position with a stunning lap of the Surfers Paradise streets to steal the limelight from the V8 title contenders at the Armor All Gold Coast 600.
The Ford Performance Racing driver laid down a time of 1m10.0480s late in the session, leaving the field in his wake despite their best efforts.
"It's like racing a motocross track," Reynolds said, talking about how drivers have to throw their cars over the kerbs to go fast.
"In fact, on my last lap I was following Lowndesy and I two-wheeled it and almost rolled!"
In a very Australian themed front row, Reynolds' green Falcon will be joined by James Moffat in his yellow Nissan Altima.
Moffat edged out Saturday's victor Craig Lowndes by just 0.02s, leaving the V8 veteran make up an all-Red Bull second row alongside teammate Jamie Whincup in fourth.
James Courtney's badly -battered Commodore was repaired in time for qualifying, repaying his hard-working Holden Racing Team by qualifying fifth.
All four of the series' manufacturers made the top 10, the Ford, Nissans and Holdens joined by Lee Holdsworth's Erebus Mercedes in P6.
FPR's two title conteders didn't have great sessions, Will Davison ending up seventh, while Mark Winterbottom will start this afternoon's 102 lap race from 11th.
At the bottom of the timesheets sat Jason Bright and Scott McLaughlin.
Bright's Team BOC car is now fully repaired after it's big crash on Friday with Andrew Jones at the wheel, but is still needing more setup work to get on the lead pace.
McLaughlin endured a troubled race Saturday plagued by throttle trouble, Car No.33 failing to post a competitive time in the session.
