Till now only three teenagers have won a title on the Korn Ferry Tour. Akshay Bhatia became the latest entrant to the list. Jason Day and Sungjae Im were the previous players on this exclusive list.
Day won the 2007 Legend Financial Group Classic when he was just 19 years, 7 months and 26 days.
Sungjae Im comes second on the list. Im won the 2018 Bahamas Great Exuma Classic when he was 19 years and 9 months and 17 days old.
Bhatia is the third youngest teenager to win a Korn Ferry event. Just two days separated Bhatia from matching Sungjae Im's record.
Talking about his game, Akshay said, “I’m just excited to play next week. I have never had a schedule. Just to be able to have a schedule and obviously look forward to playing certain events… there’s just all those things I get to look forward to this year. I would like to win three and get promoted to the PGA Tour, so I guess that’s my goal.”
