Akshay Bhatia and Ryo Hisatsune Lead Pebble Beach Pro-Am as Fowler and McIlroy Charge

Bhatia and Hisatsune In Control After Stellar Second Rounds

Akshay Bhatia and Ryo Hisatsune have taken charge of the Pebble Beach Pro-Am, sitting atop the leaderboard after stellar second rounds of 64 (-8) each. They top a crowded leaderboard as the reigning PGA Tour Player of the Year, Rickie Fowler, returns to form with the same score.

Playing the Spyglass Hill course, Bhatia, a 24-year-old with two PGA Tour wins under his belt, attributed his success to his short game:

“I continue my momentum from last week. I played very well, and I’m starting to find my rhythm.”

Scottie Scheffler moved up the leaderboard into a tie for seventh, nine strokes behind, thanks to a second-round 66 (-6). McIlroy, the world number one, is also three strokes behind after a day mixed with five birdies, two bogeys, and an eagle:

“I had a respectable score today, unlike yesterday. At least I made something happen on the last nine holes.”
