Akshay Bhatia is one round away from going to the Masters. The 22-year-old birdied his final two holes for a 68.SAN ANTONIO — Akshay Bhatia wrote a reminder on his wrist Saturday before the third round of the Valero Texas Open to “Race My Race.” The idea was to not worry about anything but his own golf, and that gave the rest of the field plenty to worry about.
Bhatia hit a perfect drive on the reachable par-4 17th to just short of the green, which featured a front pin. His pitch wasn't anything special, but he holed a 12-foot putt. On the closing par 5, he laid up and hit wedge to a back pin to just inside 10 feet and made the birdie putt. Jordan Spieth provided plenty of entertainment, not necessarily good for his score. He opened with a pair of bogeys. He had four birdies to get into the top 10.
