Akshay Bhatia, Will Zalatoris are under par in Puntacana

A couple of non-members on the PGA TOUR are looking to take advantage of a good opportunity this week at the Corales Puntacana Resort & Club Championship. 18-year-old Akshay Bhatia and Monday Qualifier Luke Graboyes were both 3-under in Thursday's opening round in the Dominican Republic. Will Zalatoris, who leads the Korn Ferry Tour's Points List and accepted a Sponsor Exemption into the event after a T6 at the U.S. Open, is a shot further back at 2-under. Zalatoris is currently on a record-setting pace on the Korn Ferry Tour with 11 straight top-20 finishes. Bhatia, meanwhile, earned his spot this week after a T9 at the Safeway Open. He returned home to let his body rest after his first four-round effort on the PGA TOUR last week before heading to Punta Cana. "I know I'm good enough to post good numbers consistently," Bhatia said. RELATED: Leaderboard | Bhatia takes fast track to PGA TOUR | Zalatoris making most of TOUR call-up Bhatia, who had a successful junior golf career before turning professional in 2019, said he felt more comfortable on the first tee at Corales than he did at the Safeway Open - part of the professional golf learning process, he said. "The more experience I can get the better I can learn for myself," he said. Bhatia admitted he didn't drive it well but rolled in some solid putts on No's 7 and 8 before chipping in for a third-straight birdie on the par-3 9th. "It's a new week, anything could happen," he said. "I just have to take it day-by-day." For Monday Qualifier Graboyes, a Cornell alum, he's been waiting for more than 180 days for his shot on the PGA TOUR stage. He originally got into this event when it was on the schedule during the 2019-20 season. This is his first start in a PGA TOUR-sanctioned event after a decorated career at Cornell where he led the school in scoring average for three consecutive seasons and won the Ivy League championship as a junior. He said Thursday's round at Corales was akin to his start at Second Stage of Q-School, where the grass was similar. But, he said, there was a lot more wind and more variety of conditions. "It was a challenge, especially for my first round," he admitted. Graboyes made four birdies to just one bogey Thursday. The highlight, he said, was on the par-4 13th when he "whiffed" his drive and had nearly 200 yards to the hole. He ripped a six iron, he said, to 15 feet androlled in the putt. After a good start, he's hoping to find the weekend and make a good week even better. "This," he said, "is the biggest event of my life so far."

Davis: ‘Arms race’ for fast greens is bad for golfDavis: ‘Arms race’ for fast greens is bad for golf

Mike Davis has been the face of the U.S. Open for six years, during which the championship has often been defined by its quick and difficult putting surfaces. But speaking at U.S. Open media day Wednesday, Davis shared his view that the faster-is-better approach to green speeds should stop. “I will say, and we’ve said this publicly before, too, this notion that good greens have to be fast greens is bad for golf,” said Davis, the USGA’s CEO and executive director. “It’s just not good.” Green speeds have been a focal point at each of the last two U.S. Opens. Many players were outspoken about the splotchy surfaces at Chambers Bay in 2015, while slick conditions led in part to a penalty that nearly

Erik van Rooyen has first PLAYERS in sights after record-tying 62Erik van Rooyen has first PLAYERS in sights after record-tying 62

MEXICO CITY – South African Erik van Rooyen made nine birdies for a course record-tying 62 and is just one off the lead of Bryson DeChambeau (63) halfway through the World Golf Championships-Mexico Championship. Now comes the prospect of keeping it going, nudging his world ranking ever so slightly upward and potentially cracking the field for his first start in THE PLAYERS Championship. “I’ve got to get in the top 50 in two weeks’ time,â€� said van Rooyen, who came into the week 52nd. Related: Leaderboard | Bubba Golf enjoying mini-revival | Cabrera Bello a one-man WGC Relatively unknown in America, van Rooyen plays full-time on the European Tour, but he is not without his bona fides here. He captained the University of Minnesota golf team, and it was during his collegiate career, on a Spring Break trip, that he saw the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass for the first time. “I just walked around the grounds,â€� he said. “We walked 18, 17, got a bit of a tour of the clubhouse. It was maybe junior year, with my teammates. We played in the morning somewhere, and Coach was like, ‘OK, guys, a special little treat: We’re going to Sawgrass. With his caddie not feeling well and his trainer on the bag for Thursday’s first round, van Rooyen went 3 over for his first nine holes before a chip-in eagle on his 10th hole, the par-4 first, turned things around. (He shot 1-under 70.) His regular caddie returned Friday, when van Rooyen could do no wrong. Fittingly, the career-low round came on his 30th birthday. “A little bit of a gift to myself,â€� he said. What would he savor most, if he’s able to keep it going and crack THE PLAYERS? “Sixteen, seventeen and eighteen,â€� he said. “I remember watching Adam Scott win it a long time ago, and thinking that was super cool, and since then I’ve really wanted to play it.â€� Considering he’s gone 13 under for the last 27 holes and shows no signs of slowing down, he appears to have all but booked his tee time. But where is this coming from? Even van Rooyen isn’t sure. He won the 2019 Scandinavian Invitation, holding off Matt Fitzpatrick and Henrik Stenson for his maiden European Tour victory, but his best result this year is a T12 at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship in January. “I haven’t played fantastic golf in Europe, with our stretch in the Middle East,â€� he said. “But off the golf course, I’ve been playing really well, hitting some really good shots, doing really good things, and I was kind of waiting for it to come together on the golf course, and today was the day.â€� Two more good rounds and he could be headed back to TPC Sawgrass – this time with a scorecard in his hand.
