Who won the 2023 Barracuda Championship? Final leaderboard explored

Akshay Bhatia claimed his first PGA Tour title at the 2023 Barracuda Championship on Sunday, July 23, beating Patrick Rodgers in a sudden-death playoff.

Following his win at Barracuda Championship, Bhatia has bagged a full status on the PGA Tour after playing under a temporary membership since March. Besides, he also booked his place in the FedEx Cup playoffs.

For the uninitiated, the Barracuda Championship used the Modified Stableford scoring system. Under this system, an eagle is rewarded with five points, while a birdie earns two points. On the other hand, a bogey incurs a deduction of one point and a double bogey results in a deduction of three points.

The 21-year-old golfer carded a final round of 3-under 68, which comprised seven birdies, two bogeys, and a double bogey, earning six points. He accumulated 40 points after playing 72 holes.

Rodgers played the final round at 2-under 69 and earned six points with the help of six birdies and two bogeys. Had he not missed the birdie attempt on the final hole, the event wouldn't have gone to the playoff for the decider.

In the sudden-death playoff at Old Greenwood, Rodgers' tee shot on the par-4 hole 18 landed on a divot, and then eventually settled for a bogey. Bhatia on the other hand, made a par to claim his first PGA Tour win. While Bhatia earned his first victory, Rodgers is yet to taste success after playing in 246 PGA Tour events.

Julien Guerrier jumped 45 places to T3 after scoring 20 points. Jens Dantorp also equaled him after bagging 15 points on the last day of the Barracuda Championship.
