For the Jakarta qualifier event, 129 distinguished guests were invited by Turkish Airlines. After registration, qualified participants had a light breakfast at the handsome club house while admiring the lush verdant course. Before the tee-off, guests were briefed on the key points of the tournament. Participants thoroughly enjoyed the good-natured competitiveness of the tournament. The verdant and immaculately manicured fairways and the cool morning air made it an outing to remember.
Come noon time, players returned to the clubhouse for an epicurean spread. Lunch was provided exclusively by Hotel Indonesia Kempinski Jakarta accompanied by bewitching wine by Cape Discovery. After lunch, the result of the tournament was announced at the prize presentation ceremony. The winner of the qualifier was Andreas Lesmana with 43 points (HDC 24).
