First Barr's tee shot on the third found a sprinkler in the middle of the fairway and went into the trees and then managed only a par on the par-5 where a birdie is what most others got. Then on the 14th, the final hole, Gangjee sitting on a 12-footer for birdie, suddenly saw his ball move after addressing it. That cost him a stroke and Barr's par was what they got for the final hole. In the final group, Johan Edfors and Ajeetesh Sandhu played with Gaganjeet Bhullar and David Howell. Edfors and Sandhu were eight-under after 12 holes and their team was 34-under, when they bogeyed the 13th and failed to birdie the last finishing at 33-under. Rashid Khan and Thaworn Wiratchant also bogeyed the 13th and failed to birdie the last to finish at four-under. Bhullar and Howell played to five-under and despite brave efforts to add any birdies in the last four holes. The day's best score came from Shubhkamna UP Eagles pair, Anirban Lahiri and Shamim Khan, who had one eagle and nine birdies. The only holes they failed to birdie were second, fourth, 10th and 12th holes. With the other Shubhkamna pair of Daniel Chopra and Michael Campbell managing only five-under, the team finished fourth at 32-under, one behind the tied second and two behind the winners. The prizes were given away by K K Bakshi, CEO of Pearls, and Col S K Sinha, the General Manager of Aamby Valley City.
