Akshay Bhatia Looking To Ride A Hot Putter Again At Castle Pines
3 months agoIt was a solid week across the board for Akshay Bhatia last week in Memphis, but what stood out the most was the plus-5.6 strokes he gained on the greens, most of which was done over the final two rounds. The 22-year-old has come into his own in 2024 much more than his rookie campaign last season, where he ranked 183rd (minus-0.505) in strokes-gained putting compared to his 27th ranking (plus-0.379) currently. His only real weakness is around the green, and while it may play a bigger factor here than most weeks given the difficulty of Castle Pines, it shouldn't make or break his tournament, as long as everything else continues firing on all cylinders.
