The Akshay Bhatia Thread

[Jimmy3864]

I had the feeling when he came out that he had a lot of pressure on him to perform and unfortunately we saw he fizzled out pretty quickly. Hopefully he’s still young so he can get a good foundation next year on the Korn Ferry tour and eventually make it up to the big leagues. Seems like a real good kid with a lot of skill.

He is being mentored by Phil Mickelson so I think he will be fine in the long run.

Too bad for his regular caddy, looks like he is back to in person learning at ECU.

19 years old, he has no idea what he's doing.

She knows exactly what she's doing.

Oh to be young and youthful. Hope he has great success, seems like a very likable kid.

 

[Daluteh]

If nothing else that seems like a fun story.

Obviously has game. Not easy to win a professional golf tournament, even on KF Tour.

Interesting situation for Akshay last week

Dude looks likes he in his 30's, would never have guess he wasn't 21.

Bhatia on the fast track to full status in 2024. Odd that it’s still top 125 for non-member points when only top 70 regular season members retain full status.

Gives them an opportunity to break in maybe?

Then once you're in - you need to prove that you belong.

I was happy to see him on the leaderboard when I turned on the tv yesterday afternoon. I was a little bummed his girlfriend wasn’t his caddy though.

I also would be a fan, but anyone who wears 'joggers' needs to go home. The tour is for professionals.

Good times.

This guy seems like such a chill bro golfer, love it.

Barbasol and Barracuda don’t award FedEx Cup points to non-members therefore Bhatia is still not eligible for the playoffs this year. Didn’t realize that.

Tour rookie 'shocked' that win and nearly $2 million not enough for playoff spot

After his breakthrough win at the Barracuda Championship, Akshay Bhatia is *still* not eligible for the FedEx Cup Playoffs. Here's why.
