PGA Tour: Akshay Bhatia Finishes Tied-16th As Theegala Is T-25 And Fitzpatrick Wins Title
Harbour Town Links: Akshay Bhatia and Sahith Theegala played under par rounds to finish in Top-25 at the RBC Heritage on the golf tournament on the PGA Tour. While Bhatia moved up to T-16, nine places from his overnight position of T-25, Theegala moved to T-25, up from his overnight position of T-41. Another Indian origin player, Sudarshan Yellamaraju (68), finished T-53.
Matt Fitzpatrick (70) held off World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler (67) in regulation play as the latter rallied from his three-shot deficit to force a playoff at Harbour Town Links. Both finished at 18-under.
In the play-off, Fitzpatrick, 31, stunned the pro-Scheffler crowd with a 4-iron from 204 yards, a little more left than he intended but very good. It rolled past the pin and stopped 13 feet away for a birdie. Fitzpatrick holed it to beat Scheffler and win the RBC Heritage for the second time.
