Akshay Bhatia on Verge of Qualifying for The Masters with Four-Shot Lead Ahead of Final Round, Live on Sky Sports Golf
Akshay Bhatia is on the verge of making history at the Valero Texas Open, as he maintains a four-shot lead heading into the final round. The young golfer shot a solid 68 on Saturday to keep his position at the top of the leaderboard, sitting at an impressive 15-under par for the tournament.
Bhatia’s performance has been nothing short of exceptional, as he aims to become the first wire-to-wire winner since Lee Hodges at the 2023 3M Open. With a four-stroke lead going into the final round, Bhatia is in prime position to secure his first PGA Tour victory and potentially qualify for his first major at The Masters.
The competition is fierce behind Bhatia, with Denny McCarthy trailing by four shots in second place. Despite a strong round of 67, McCarthy will need to make up ground quickly if he hopes to catch the leader. Brendon Todd sits solo in third at eight under, while Hideki Matsuyama made a significant leap up the leaderboard with a six-under 66 to tie for fourth.
As the final round of the Valero Texas Open unfolds, golf fans are eagerly anticipating Bhatia’s potential breakthrough victory and his chance to secure a coveted spot at The Masters. With live coverage of the tournament available on Sky Sports Golf, viewers can witness all the action as it happens and cheer on their favorite players.
