Up against the experienced Gagan, Pratap did not show any signs of nervousness as the battle began with both the players making birdies. Winning the par-2 second with a birdie, Pratap made it 2-up on the fourth with an eagle and went one more ahead on the next with a par. However he lost a hole when made a bogey on the sixth. Winning two more in the last three holes put Pratap in a comfortable 4-up position at the turn.

A missed putt on the fourth cost him the hole. However, he made a birdie on the very next hole to draw level. After a keen fight, Sajib hit a way ward second shot and ended up with a bogey to lose the hole.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">Sajib then made a birdie on the 11th to go 1-up and won the next hole with a par to increase his lead. However, things turned around in the next three holes as Karan won all of them, thanks to a shaky putter of Sajib. \u201cHe is a good player and I was a bit anxious as we approached the last few holes. The mistake on the 17th where he missed the par-putt changed the match around,\u201d said Karan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Results semifinals<\/p>\n<p>1-Karan Taunk beat 4- Md.
