Share of fifth at the Travelers Bhatia posted a three-under 67 in the final round of the Travelers Championship to finish tied for fifth with Wyndham Clark.

Impact Bhatia followed up his T17 at the U.S. Open with a strong performance at TPC River Highlands, with his bogey-free, eight-under 62 score Friday being his best of the tournament. He finished fourth in SG: Putting, T6 in birdies made and in the top-25 in SG: Around-the-Green, SG: Putting and scrambling. It was Bhatia's fourth top-10 finish of the season and first since his playoff victory over Daniel Berger at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in early March. Bhatia is not listed in the field for next week's John Deere Classic.

Misses cut after Friday 80 Bhatia posted a nine-over cumulative score at the Memorial Tournament to miss the cut by four strokes.

Impact Bhatia opened the tournament with a one-over 73 score, which was marred by his double bogey on the par-4 18th. He was still in good position to make it to the weekend after the cut line was set at five-over. However, the 24-year-old lefty struggled mightily Friday with four bogeys on both the front and back nine, en route to an eight-over 80 score. He struggled in all facets of his game in the second round, connecting on just five of 14 fairways while going 6-for-18 on GIR. Bhatia lost 3.47 strokes in his approach play Friday, which was third-worst in the field of 72. He has just one top-15 finish and three MC's in his eight outings since his playoff victory at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. He won't tee off next week at the RBC Canadian Open, so Bhatia's next appearance will be in two weeks at the U.S. Open. He didn't make the cut in last year's major, and this year's version will be his first appearance at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club.

Drops 16 spots after Sunday 73 Bhatia finished in a four-way share of 28th at the Charles Schwab Challenge after posting a four-under cumulative score.

Impact Bhatia was eight-under through the first two days of the tournament, highlighted by his five-under 65 score Friday. He was still in a good spot heading into Sunday despite a one-over 71 on Saturday, but Bhatia tumbled down the leaderboard after going three-over on the back nine. He finished T15 in birdies, 19th in SG: Putting and in the top-30 in driving distance and SG: Around-the-Green. However, he also ranked T54 in bogeys, 63rd in SG: Off-the-Tee, T69 in GIR and T71 in driving accuracy. Bhatia has failed to finish in the top-10 in seven tournaments since his playoff victory at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in early May, which includes missed cuts at both The Masters and the PGA Championship. He'll tee off at the Memorial Tournament next week, where he's finished MC-T22-T16 since 2023.

MC after four-over 74 on Friday Bhatia missed the cut by one stroke at the PGA Championship after posting a five-over cumulative score across the first two rounds of the major.

Impact Bhatia posted a one-over 71 opening round score, but he put himself on the back foot after carding bogeys on each of the first three holes of the second round. He went even over the next 13 holes before dropping another shot on the eighth, and he could not sink his 25-foot birdie putt on the par-5 ninth to sneak his way to the four-over cut line. Bhatia has failed to make the cut in each of his three PGA Championship outings, and he has missed the cut in four of his last five majors, with the exception being his T30 at The Open Championship last year.

Sunk by poor third round Bhatia finished tied for 37th at the Truist Championship after recording a two-under cumulative score.

Impact Bhatia found himself near the top of the leaderboard at five-under through the early stages of the third round. However, all his hard work unravelled after going seven-over from holes six to 12, including a double bogey on the sixth and four consecutive bogeys from holes nine to 12. Bhatia's issues Saturday came from his iron play, losing 4.31 strokes in his approach game while connecting on just seven of 18 greens in regulation. Since his playoff victory at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, Bhatia has finished T13-MC-T16-T23-T37, with his missed cut coming at The Masters. Up next is the PGA Championship, where he's missed the cut in each of his two outings at the major.

Second in SG: ARG at Doral Bhatia closed with a one-over 73 on Sunday at the Cadillac Championship to finish six-under and tied for 23rd.

Impact Bhatia's roller coaster of a final round on the Blue Monster Course included four birdies, three bogeys, a pair of doubles and an eagle while losing 4.78 strokes with his ball striking, hitting just six of 14 fairways in regulation. However, he finished the Signature Event ranked second among the field in SG: Around-the-Green and sixth in SG: Putting, carried by his short game around Trump National Doral. Bhatia will peg it again this week at the Truist Championship hosted by Quail Hollow, where he missed the cut at last year's PGA Championship.

Bounces back at RBC Heritage Bhatia posted a nine-under cumulative score at the RBC Heritage to finish tied for 16th.

Impact Bhatia was looking to shake off a disappointing performance at The Masters last week, when he missed the cut by two strokes following a five-over 77 score in the second round. Bhatia started out poorly at Harbour Town with a two-over 73, but he rebounded with an eight-under 63 score Friday that included 11 birdies, one bogey and a double bogey. He went three-under over the final two rounds, which was enough for him to crack the top-20 for the sixth time this season. His 21 birdies made were tied for most in the tournament, and he also ranked sixth in SG: Putting, though he was near the bottom of the field in SG: Off-the-Tee, SG: Around-the-Green and scrambling. Bhatia will not participate in the Zurich Classic this week but should be at the next Signature Event, the Cadillac Championship, in two weeks time.

MC at The Masters Bhatia missed the cut at The Masters by two strokes after posting a six-over cumulative score.

Impact Bhatia opened the tournament with a one-over 73 score Thursday. The cut line was set at four-over par, and it looked like he was going to make it to the weekend after going three-over through 17 holes in the second round, but those aspirations were snuffed out by a double bogey on the par-4 18th. Bhatia has missed the cut in each of his last two tournaments if the DP World Tour is included, which is a far cry from his performance in his five prior outings on the PGA Tour, which includes three top-10 finishes and a playoff victory over Daniel Berger at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in early March. Bhatia will look to get back on track next week at the RBC Heritage, where he missed the cut in his Harbour Town debut in 2023 before finishing T18 and T42 in 2024 and 2025, respectively.
