21-year-old Rashid Khan hit four consecutive birdies from 12th to 15th hole to stage a remarkable comeback to win the match by two strokes. However, such a result looked difficult at the start of the day with Randhawa scoring consecutive birdies in the first three holes. "It's great to win after being three strokes behind a champion player like Jyoti Randhawa. The thought process in a team event is totally different. One cannot attack all the time as you need to keep your teammates' scores in mind and have a greater responsibility towards the team," said Rashid. Speaking about the loss, Randhawa said, "We played really well through the tournament but Silverglades had some crucial puts in the last few holes to take the game away from us." In the third place play-off, Navratna Ahmedabad pipped Jaypee Greens Greater Noida on sudden death after the match score was tied 1-1. Vikrant Chopra registered a birdie on the second hole to beat Gaganjeet Bhullar to ensure that the last edition champions at least finished on the podium. Jeev Milkha Singh-led Shubhkamna Noida finished fifth. Purvankar Bangalore came sixth, Take Chennai beat AVT Kolkata to secure the seventh and eighth position respectively in the 2013 edition of the tournament which was a played between nine cities in the stroke play format. Dev Ellora Chandigarh had lost out in the first round only.
