SAN ANTONIO — The property at TPC San Antonio, home of the Valero Texas Open, is one of the most centralized on the PGA Tour, with the massive JW Marriott resort where most players stay towering over the 18th green, just a few steps from where the world's best golfers exit their rounds.
So many of the tournament's participants take time to soak up the resort's amenities and relax, especially with the Masters looming. But Akshay Bhatia is not one of those players. In fact, last year, after taking the 36-hole lead into the weekend, Bhatia sat with Smylie Kaufman for his then-fledgling "Happy Hour" TV segment, insisting he'd rather watch more golf than lounge in the lazy river.
