Bhatia's Big Birdie Runs Helps Him Beat the Wind and Lead at Pebble Beach
Akshay Bhatia shot a 64 to tie for the lead at Pebble Beach while Rickie Fowler rose eight spots; Min Woo Lee finished 7-under for the round amid upcoming rain.
- Friday, February 13, 2026, Bhatia shot a bogey-free, 8-under 64 at Spyglass Hill to tie Ryo Hisatsune for the 36-hole lead at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, both at 15-under 129.
- Bhatia's recent run — including a tie for third at the WM Phoenix Open last week — and 44 holes without a bogey over three rounds helped him qualify via the Aon Swing 5 pathway.
- Hisatsune's week was buoyed by a 62 in Round 1 at Pebble Beach Golf Links, then he shot 67 at Spyglass Hill, while Harris English posted the day's low round with a 63.
- They all head to Pebble Beach for the weekend, where scoring will decide the $20 million signature event and Rickie Fowler trails the leaders by one after shooting 64.
- Celebrity presence translated into ticket spikes, as Travis Kelce's inclusion drove $60,000 in sales and $21,000 in 12 hours before play while broadcasts run on Golf Channel, ESPN app, and Fubo.
