M Abdullah Khan followed closely with a total of 226, earning him the second gross while Ahmad Zafar Hayat claimed third.

In the net division, Saqiba Batool led the field with a remarkable score of 66 while Aleesa Rashid secured second with 69, and Hadia Osama third with a score of 73. 

Despite the success of the event, it is notable that the ladies were not granted World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR) participation, despite the CNS tournament being a WAGR event for other categories. This disparity underscores the need for more inclusive policies to promote the development of the women's game in Pakistan. 

Vice Chief of the Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Owais Ahmed Bilgrami, was the chief guest at the closing ceremony. He appreciated the efforts of the organisers, sponsors, media, and Defence Raya Golf & Country Club for the successful execution of the tournament. "The Pakistan Navy is committed to promoting healthy activities through sports in the country." 

The Vice Chief further emphasised that the Pakistan Navy would utilize all resources to provide training facilities in golf and other sports for the youth. He also congratulated the standout performers and distributed prizes among them.
