The Panasonic OPEN INDIA, the second game in the third season, moved to a new location in Haryana, a state in the north of India.
Due to poor weather, the first round was held over two days and reduced to a 54-hole event.

On the final day, Joohyung Kim (South Korea) scored 65 and won his first victory in the Asian Tour at 13 under par. At 17 years old, Kim is the second youngest winner of an Asian Tour tournament.

The third season of Panasonic SWING continued onto its third event with the BNI Indonesian Masters at the par-72 Royale Jakarta Golf Club. Despite finishing day two in 14th place and seven shots off the lead, Jazz Janewattananond of Thailand hit two eagles and seven birdies against one bogey for a round of 62 on day three to head into the overall lead on 16-under-par. On the final day, Janewattananond managed to pull away from his compatriot Gunn Charoenkul, who started the day just one shot behind, to earn an emphatic victory and finish five shots ahead on 23-under-par.
