Akshay Bhatia Makes A Good Start, Tied-seventh At The Memorial

By IANS News May 30, 2025 • 18:06 PM View: 293

Charles Schwab Challenge: Akshay Bhatia overcame a double bogey and two other bogeys on a demanding golf course with dense rough to shoot a creditable 2-under 70 in the first round of the Memorial Tournament.

The Indian-American golfer, a two-time winner on the PGA Tour, was Tied-seventh and lying five shots behind the in-form Ben Griffin (65), who won last week at the Charles Schwab Challenge and continued that form here this week.

Defending champion Scottie Scheffler was not at his best but still shot 70 at Muirfield Village.
