Akshay Bhatia: A future world golf star
Akshay Bhatia is one of the most promising young talents on the US circuit. He turned professional just in 2019 and that same year began playing on the Korn Ferry Tour.
On that circuit, he achieved one victory, at the 2022 Bahamas Great Exuma Classic at Sandals Emerald Bay. Three Top 10 finishes and 13 cuts made out of 32 tournaments played complete his stats on the Korn Ferry Tour.
He also made his PGA Tour debut in 2019, when he attended the Valspar Championship. He missed the cut there. Since then, he has achieved a runner-up finish as his best result (achieved at the Puerto Rico Open last March). He also has two Top 10 finishes and 10 cuts made out of 27 tournaments played. He is currently ranked 283rd in the world.
As part of the United States team, he won the 2019 Walker Cup. He was teammates with Nathaniel Crosby, John Augenstein, Steven Fisk, Stewart Hagestad, Cole Hammer, Andy Ogletree, John Pak, Isaiah Salinda, Alex Smalley, and Brandon Wu.
In that tournament, Bhatia was the youngest participant of all, at only 17 years old. Nevertheless, his performance was excellent, winning his particular match against Britain's James Sugrue on the second day to contribute to his team's final victory.
