It's simpler than that. Oceania zonal granted CM titles to every player who scored 50%. So a 1800+ performance was basically good enough to get a title there.
You can check IM Ilingworth's blog for some examples (sorry can't insert link from the phone).
Do you have any idea how much wins he need to have and how much tours he need to play in order to make 2200+? And all that in 1-1.5 months? Basicaly winning every single tour vs big strong players.
He is not replying to my question sent around 3-4 days ago asking about which tours and fide id... People just lie all the time. I am afraid that is the case here. I hope not..
