Akshay Bhatia Lacking Driving Prowess Needed at Colonial Country Club
For whatever many of us thought was going to happen after Akshay Bhatia's victory at Bay Hill, things haven't really come to fruition. The 24-year-old hasn't had a top-10 since, while missing the cut at both of the year's first two majors. We know he has an abundance of talent, but so far, he is driving the ball too poorly for anything else to shine. He ranks 128th in strokes gained off the tee (-0.245), and is outside the top 100 in driving accuracy and distance. And though his iron play has suffered over his last few starts, it's otherwise a strong part of what makes Bhatia one of the young stars on the PGA Tour. However, this week doesn't fit how he is playing at the moment. The ceiling is too low for the price he warrants.
