Akshay just made a new fan of me. He plays great and I love to hear him talk. So positive and likable. Good luck at the Masters!

[@RollinRocker]

19:06 He needed to make this putt to force a playoff. So clutch.

[@goralczyk333]

Ballstriking and putting were killer. Made a new fan out of me. Get it boy! Good luck in your first masters!

[@radar0412]

Yes PGA tour players, Akshay bhatia is living proof that you DON'T have to spend Endless hours in the weight room transforming your physique into an NFL linebacker's body in order to hit the ball long. You can even save $7,000 on your healthcare deductible that you have allocated for your orthopedic surgeon, for your future back surgery. 😂

[@MediaLieDetector]

Old: Grip it and rip it New: Grip it and WHIP it I really like Akshay. Will watch him every chance I get.

[@thomasallen6889]

His shoulder dislocated doing a fist pump. I would do some shoulder exercise

[@choide19]

True, but I guarantee you that he spends hours working on his body everyday, just maybe not pumping iron and bulking.

[@nelly5538]

Don’t speak too soon on Akshays back dude. He’s only 21 with a LOT of torque and a LOT of sidebend

[@theguyonyoutube4826]

Or, maybe humans are all different and can accomplish things with different physiques. Don't be so judgmental just because some people's dedication to bettering their physique just because it makes you feel insecure

[@tyzxcj34]

Listen to the sound of his contact.... Solid!

[@Lukie_C_]

Was there followed him all day just class golf all around has always been a favorite of mine cool to see him win

[@TheDecoyj1]

You guys should upload an every shot for every winner, not just big names

[@golfinsurfr]

Congrats Akshay 🏌️😎

[@MediaLieDetector]

Great tournament! Congratulations Akshay!

[@darricmartinez5626]

Right on Dawg!

[@MrTeg319]

Could watch this guy play all day

[@dogloverjb6873]

NIce guy and relatable for us. Just an average build, but massive talent. No need for 380+ yd drives. Someone we can relate to. Good for him!

[@pacypacman]

His avarage driving distance was 317 yards this week (8th in this tournament) and longest drive was 363. totally relatable!

[@sullyt]

what a guy

[@ColeHeinze]

Naw😭😭 4:52

[@salamj500]

no wonder,someday he will be top player,this guy got style..

[@whatintheworld7624]

The amount of shots he hit to within 10 feet of the pin was insane... He was in the zone

[@Wtfdawg321]

Dudes game was ridiculous

[@bernard0camp0s]

Unreal level of golf. Attacking every flag, sinking almost every putt

[@Coronaweyyy2877]

Need context on the “idk if your wife would approve that” 😅

[@pacificlite]

skinny dude, wears glasses , drives the ball a mile, totally relatable , except the driving part!

[@chellolo91]

He has way too much aura

[@ryanprimicias230]

I thought McCarthy won ?

[@KaotikImpulse]

Went to a playoff and he hit it in the water.

[@vonniofdoom5590]

U have to be skinny for a sport like this so u don’t have to much power where golf ball goes past the line

[@davehumby4957]

Still anchoring ya putter then 😮
