Aditya Raj Kumar Chauhan of the Golden Greens Golf & Country Club, Gurgaon, won the PGTI Feeder Tour Order of Merit title for 2012.

Bajaj (69-68-67), lying third after round two, became the only player in the tournament to post three under-par scores after his round of 67 on Thursday. “I executed my strategy to perfection as my six-iron second shot from 210 yards landed within three feet of the flag and set up an eagle opportunity,” he said.
Sharma (64-70-73), the overnight leader, slipped to joint second after his final round of three-over-73 that included three birdies and six bogeys.
