Gaurav Ghei (70) finished at 14-under and in 13th place, while Shiv Kapur after three 68s went one over 73 with four bogeys in last eight holes in the final round to finish 11-under and tied 27th.

Digvijay Singh (70) joined Kapur in the tied 27th place, while Gurbaaz Mann (71) was tied 32nd and Arjun Singh [Images] (68) was tied 48th while SSP Chowrasia (75) slid down further to tied 60th.
