Akshay Bhatia A Strong Value Play At Genesis Invitational
Akshay Bhatia has been in sneaky good form to start the year with finishes of T32, T22, T37 (Dubai Desert Classic), and T32 again. Now he turns his attention to the Genesis Invitational, which is being held at Torrey Pines. Bhatia's most recent trip here was in 2024 at the Farmers Insurance Open, where he finished T13. This week, golfers will need to perform well off the tee, and while Bhatia isn't known for his distance, he ranks 42nd in driving accuracy and 88th in strokes gained off the tee. Bhatia has also been one of the best putters on tour this year, gaining 8.144 strokes with his flat stick, ranking 16th on tour. He is also in the 75th percentile over the last 12 months in proximity from 150-200 yards, a range that accounts for 39.6% of all approach shots at Torrey Pines. Given his recent form and accurate play, Bhatia is worth strong consideration by fantasy managers at his $7,100 price tag on DraftKings.
