The fourth round of the Valero Texas Open differed greatly from the previous three for Akshay Bhatia. The youngster arrived with a six-shot lead on the back nine. But Denny McCarthy birdied eight of the last nine holes, seven of them consecutively.
With this, Denny McCarthy stood as the leader of the Valero Texas Open, forcing Bhatia to birdie the 72nd hole. But the youngster rose to the challenge and tied it up by holing an 11-foot putt to force a playoff.
Bhatia quickly settled the sudden death by making a birdie on the first hole, while McCarthy could not match that score.
Akshay Bhatia thus earned the final ticket to the Masters, as well as his second PGA Tour victory in less than a year. In addition, he qualifies for all Signature Events remaining in the season.
