Finishing a stroke further behind was opening day’s leader M. Sajid with par 216 to settle for third position.

Overnight runners up Imdad Hussain squandered the lead to share fourth place with Shakeel Rehmati at 217.

DHA’s Waseem Rana won the amateur gross title when he logged 78 for a total of 225. KGC’s Aly Rana finished runners up with score of 228.
