Great  finish with Akshay Bhatia coming  from way behind to win his  first Championship. Was fun to watch someone  come from way behind to win. 

Same dumb schtick since joining.

He was only three Stableford points back after 54 holes, and didn't even win outright: he tied Patrick Rodgers and went to a playoff.

It's his first PGA Tour win, but these alternate field events are glorified KFT wins, and he had one of those already, too.

But  he was well behind after the front  9. It still counts as a win and  in this case a really  big win.

He was six points back. Rodgers had +6 points, he had +3 after starting the day 3 back. He only shot -3 on the back nine. Rodgers managed only a +1. I'd put this in the "Rodgers collapsed" category more than the "Akshay blitzed him" category.

I'm sure you didn't watch any of the British Open since the winning score there was even lower than the super-easy U.S. Open. I'm glad you enjoyed the Barracuda.

Akshay shouldn't get a two-year exemption for this one IMO, but whatever.

    • Day 24 (14 Feb 25) - Played with the l Friday men’s group (only 7 of us today - temps in the low 40’s to start and N-NW winds gusting to 10-15 mph).  It was course management front and center type of day.  Had ample opportunities to work from some tough lies, etc.  Overall an okay round -  the bigger struggle was with the putter (several three putts and one four - ugggly offset by one terrific 60’ putt for birdie).  Spent some time after the round chipping on the practice green. 
    • Day 8; 2/14/2025 Had a lesson with Yoda today. ... He suggested I take up tennis. 😂
    • Day 7: 2/14/25 Putting through 50 mm gates from 11”. Made the first 42 before hitting 2 gates in a row, then made 9 consecutive putts.    Followed with a Par 4 success speed training workout and hit 113 mph several times.
    • Personally, I can't stand the announcers bias to some players over others. One player hits it to 8 feet and it's "What a spectacular shot from Scotty Scheffler"! Then somebody else...not a favorite... hits a shot to 4 feet and they say something like "well he needs a few more of those if wants a chance on the weekend". Azinger was the worst at gushing over his favorites but now it's every announcer.
    • A lot of people just mute the announcers these days. 🙂
