Golf: Akshay Bhatia In The Mix For Title At Phoenix Open, Theegala At 16th Spot
WM Phoenix Open: Akshay Bhatia kept himself firmly in the mix at the WM Phoenix Open golf championship with another steady round, while Sahith Theegala continued his push to secure places in the PGA TOUR’s lucrative Signature Events with one round left at TPC Scottsdale.
Bhatia, coming off two missed cuts in his previous starts, produced a second consecutive 4-under 67 to move into a tie for sixth heading into Sunday. The young Indian-American showed improved control and composure on a demanding layout, staying within striking distance of the leaders in a tightly packed leaderboard.
His round featured early momentum with three birdies in the opening five holes, before further gains on the 15th and 17th. Three dropped shots on the ninth, 11th, and 14th prevented him from climbing higher, but his overall position leaves him well placed for a final-round charge.
