Akshay Bhatia Earns Last Remaining Invite To The Masters
8 months agoIt will be the first attempt at the best event in professional golf for Akshay Bhatia after the 22-year-old overcame a thunderous push from Denny McCarthy to win the Valero Texas Open. He led the field in strokes gained on approach (2.06) and 9th in strokes gained off the tee (1.07). There is something to be said for the hangover that comes with a big-time victory, and coupled with the fact it will be his first start at Augusta National, expectations naturally diminish. First-timers finding success here has run rampant over the last few years, so it isn't out of the question. However, the range of outcomes that could come makes Bhatia a riskier play than it appears on paper.
