SAN ANTONIO - When then 22-year-old Akshay Bhatia beat Denny McCarthy in a play-off to win the Texas Open in 2024 at TPC San Antonio, he got to do one of the most enjoyable things in the world of golf.
He got to board a flight to Augusta, Georgia.
Bhatia's victory earned him the final spot available in the field at the Masters the following week, and he went on to tie for 35th.
"I played so great the whole week (in San Antonio)," Bhatia told reporters on April 2, ahead of his Texas Open title defence.
"I honestly don't know how I did it, shooting 20 under, Denny and I, and I think third place was 11 under. You step on this property and you realise how hard this golf course is. Just such a whirlwind.
"Then going to Augusta the following night, just great memories. You know, I look forward to see if I can get back in that position this week."
Bhatia was the solo leader after each of the first three rounds last year before McCarthy caught up with a final-round 63. Bhatia won it with a birdie on the first play-off hole.
