Golfer Akshay Bhatia Stays Within Striking Distance As Hovland Takes Slender Travelers Lead
TPC River Highlands: Akshay Bhatia kept his hopes of a second PGA Tour title of the season alive by remaining in the leading group after three rounds of the Travelers Championship, ensuring that the Indian-origin star will begin Sunday's final round with a realistic chance of lifting another trophy.
Bhatia, backed by Hero, followed his spectacular second-round 62 with a composed three-under 67 to move to 15-under-par 195, leaving him tied for third at TPC River Highlands. Although five shots behind Norway's Viktor Hovland, the 23-year-old has already shown this week that low scores are possible on one of the Tour's most birdie-friendly layouts.
Hovland surged into the lead at 20-under after a six-under 64, edging world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler by a single stroke in what promises to be an exciting final-day showdown. Bhatia shares third place with Patrick Cantlay, while a group of contenders, including reigning U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark and England's Matt Fitzpatrick, remain within touching distance.
