Akshay Bhatia posted a career -best, eight under -Under -62 round of career to win a shot lead at Tommy Flat Wood in St. Jood Championship to open the FedEx Play Office.
Bhattia comes in the play office at 45th, before only 50 tournaments are advanced before they reached the top 30 in the East Lake for a shot on a $ 10 million bonus.
Defending champions and World No.1 Scotti Schifler are playing for the first time after claiming their fourth largest win – and in the second place of the year – in the open, the opening 67 has a five lead after sowing the final hole.
“Today was a good day. I did some concrete things,” the Shafler said, who assures at least another week of seed. “It felt like I’m really close to playing a great round but ended with a solid round. Overall, a decent start.”
Bhattia enjoyed the blast in his record round, and with more birds between the ages of 16 and 18, the colleague earned the Eagle in the 16th before being cleared of England’s Harry Hall.
Bhattia later said, “I felt very comfortable, and I’m not just trying to force anything.” “It’s okay to be mad at golf shots but not on yourself.”
Justin Rose and Bud Kavali, like the hall, also posted 64S in TPC South Wind so he sat down and two from the back of the flat Wood and one from behind.
The popular English is practically assured to reach the end of the FedEx Cup, which is currently sitting at number 9 in the rankings, but is still endorsing it for this First PGA Tour title.
The 34 -year -old killed 13 of the 14 fairways, and the one he was reminding him caused the burden to be a bunker shot at the ninth.
Flat Wood said, “People talk about this golf course as a second shot golf course, but if you are at the fair, this is just the second shot golf course.” “I hit the ball so well that I always gave myself a chance.”
Elsewhere, Ricky Fooler, who was missing since the season last year, came to St. Jood Championship in No. 64 in the rankings, but his first 66 projects pushed it within the top 50.
Before the end of the day returned, starting at No. 48, Jordan Speth was rallied on the last nine for 69.
