Akshay Bhatia In Strong Form Ahead Of Arnold Palmer Invitational
41 mins agoAkshay Bhatia has been knocking on the door of victory in his last two events, posting back-to-back ninth-place finishes at the Mexico Open and the Genesis Invitational. Bhatia now turns his attention to the Arnold Palmer Invitational, an event he has yet to compete in during his PGA career. To succeed at Bay Hill, players will need to be sharp off the tee and excel with long irons, especially given the forecasted 20-plus-mph winds this weekend. Bhatia, known for his driving accuracy, currently ranks 24th in this category and 101st in total driving. He also ranks in the 92nd percentile in proximity from 200-plus yards, a range that accounts for 31.7% of all approach shots at this course, including three of the four par-threes. Additionally, Bhatia can light it up on the greens, gaining 0.664 strokes per round in putting, which is 12th-best on tour. Given his recent form and strong ability with long irons, fantasy managers should confidently insert Bhatia into their lineups at his $7,800 price tag on DraftKings.
