Akshay Bhatia earns 700 FedExCup points, $4 million with Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard victory
Akshay Bhatia completed a comeback for the ages at Bay Hill Club & Lodge, overcoming a five-shot deficit on Sunday to win the Arnold Palmer Invitational over Daniel Berger in a one-hole playoff.
Berger entered Sunday looking for a wire-to-wire victory in what was three days of dominance until Bhatia caught fire at the start of the back nine, birdieing four straight from Nos. 10-13 to rise from the pack. An eagle at the par-5 16th put Bhatia within one of the lead, and a bogey at No. 17 from Berger locked the two into the first playoff since 1999 at Arnie’s Place.
Bhatia would comfortably two-putt for par to capture the first Signature Event of his career on the first playoff hole. It is Bhatia’s third TOUR win overall and nets him $4 million and 700 FedExCup points.
