PGA Tour: Akshay Bhatia Makes A Steady Start In Rocket Classic
The Rocket Classic: Akshay Bhatia, making a start after taking a week off after the Open, where he missed the cut, shot 2-under 68 for a modest start at the Rocket Classic. The left-handed Bhatia was lying T-48 and needed to stay steady to ensure passage into the weekend rounds.
Another Indian-origin player, Sudarshan Yellamaraju (69), was T-72 amidst a bunch of low scores, and he was around the cut line. Two other top Indian origin players, Aaron Rai and Sahith Theegala, are skipping the week.
Peter Malnati, who had a rough season and missed more cuts than he has made this season, got a big boost as he shot a career-best 9-under 61 to tie a tournament record in the first round of the Rocket Classic, giving him a two-shot lead.
