T3 finish at TPC Sawgrass Bhatia closed with a round of two-under 70 to finish in a share of third place at THE PLAYERS Championship. Impact Bhatia was in the mix all week at the PGA Tour's flagship event, showing that he is a true world class player. Bhatia opened with 67-66 to take the lead into the weekend. He struggled in much tougher conditions in round three with a 75, but got right back in it by starting the final round with birdies on three of the first four holes. Unfortunately, Bhatia was only to add one more birdie after that run to go along with a pair of bogeys to close the round. He would miss out on the playoff by just two strokes. Bhatia still has to be pleased with his performance this week gaining strokes across the board, including ranking top-15 in SG: Approach and SG: Putting. He will hope to carry the momentum into the Valspar Championship and pick up career win No. 3 on the PGA Tour.
