With just a few more days left till the Augusta event, pros have just one way to find a spot on the field: a win at this week’s PGA Tour event, the Valero Texas Open. The last of the invitations for the major will be given out after the Texas Open, and a win could secure a spot at the Masters for many professionals.

Golf Digest recently reported on Instagram about the five most notable names that could find themselves at Augusta next month provided they grab a win this weekend. Rickie Fowler, Matt Kuchar, Harry Higgs, Padraig Harrington, and Akshay Bhatia were the “notable names” on the GD list. “These pros are looking for a win this week for a spot at Augusta,” they captioned the post.

Fowler’s name on the list won over the golf fans. After all, he has been playing spectacular golf recently! They began showering him with praises and support. “Tricky Ricky for the W in Texas to get in,” commented one fan. And another wrote, “Let’s go Rick!” and “lfgggg rick.” One fan also said, “Rickie is the only surprising name.”

Fans lash out at Akshay Bhatia

Some fans didn’t seem to take kindly to the post; they seemed to have one main issue, that the list had some not-so-notable names on it. Flooding the comments section, they lashed out. One fan wrote, “Only 3 of these are notables come on,” while another said, “3 of these are no names.” Yet another fan commented, “There’s one notable name. Bad post.” 

More than the other 4, the majority of the fans seemed to have problems with one name, especially Akshay Bhatia. They were furious that he was in the notable category since he had only recently gotten his Tour card. “Akshay is notable?” questioned one fan, while another said, “Settle down now akshay just found his tail.” It was clear that he yet had to win over the golf world like Fowler!
