In the original plan, the 3rd game was to be played at the Royale Jakarta. But in their practise rounds, the Koba Tin players found the course too tough and changed the venue back to Cengkareng, which they believed would be to their advantage.
Having squared the game on the 2nd day, Staroba was hoping to come in winners in most of the individual matches.

Pakdokter (handicap 30) played against pakMesha ( handicap 29). The much younger and fitter pakMesha went 4-up in the 1st Nine only to have pakdokter come back to square the match at the 16th hole. PakMesha was nearly demolished if not for pakdokter's careless mistake in the last hole which gave him the match. It was a closely fought match, eclipsing the other duel between pakYuzer and his opponent which pakYuzer won easily. In the overall game, Koba Tin players came home with winning outcomes and was leading 9-7 before the last 2 Staroba players came home victorious to square the game 9-9. So the 90 million rupiah prize money was equally shared by all the 38 players.
A return match is in the works, to be played in Kuala Lumpur in June 2011.
