HOUSTON – Akshay Bhatia will take a four-shot lead into the final round of the PGA Texas Open after overcoming an early wobble and a bout of nerves to card a four-under 68 on April 6.

Bhatia, who led by five strokes after the second round on April 5, bounced back after two bogeys in his first seven holes to mount a charge on the back nine at TPC San Antonio.
