South Korea’s Kim Shares First-round Lead At Cognizant; Bhatia Way Behind

Indian American Akshay Bhatia: S.H. Kim put himself in a prime position to become the third South Korean winner at the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches after firing a flawless 7-under 64 for the joint first-round lead with American Chad Ramey on Thursday.

The 25-year-old Kim chipped in for an eagle from 74 feet on the third hole at PGA National Resort (The Champion) and made five other birdies as he chases a maiden PGA TOUR title and looks to emulate compatriots Y.E. Yang (2009) and Sungjae Im (2020) as a winner at the 52-year-old tournament.

Indian American Akshay Bhatia had a troubled start with an even-par 71 that saw him low down in T-103rd place needing a strong second round to make the cut.
