Akshay Bhatia Leads Pebble After 54; Collin Morikawa, Sepp Straka, Jake Knapp Close

Bhatia holds -19 after 54 at Pebble, but back-nine slips cut his cushion. Morikawa, Straka and Knapp sit -17; Bridgeman -16, Matsuyama -15. “I always love playing in the wind… when it gets tough,” Bhatia said. Scheffler shot 67 yet sits T23, while Fowler fell back after a double on No. 6. Hisatsune and three others are -14.
