Heading into the final round of the Rocket Mortgage Classic, Akshay Bhatia and Aaron Rai are preparing to settle their thrilling battle once and for all.
The two young talents have been duking it out all week at Detroit Golf Club, sitting as co-leaders after both round two and round three following some electric scoring.
Bhatia's strong week has been highlighted by an opening-day 64 while Rai roared back courtesy of a 65 on Friday. Both managed a 68 on Moving Day and will start Sunday on 17-under for the week, one shot ahead of Cam Davis and Cameron Young.
Neither Young nor Rai have yet tasted PGA Tour success yet, while Bhatia has already won this season at the Valero Texas Open for his second tour triumph.
Meanwhile, Davis' only PGA Tour victory arrived at this very tournament in 2021, so the leaders are all relatively inexperienced in terms of closing out tournaments at this level.

Waiting behind are the likes of amateur Luke Clanton, Min Woo Lee, Joel Dahmen, and Rickie Fowler - with the 2023 champion one of 18 players within five shots of the leaders before a golf ball is struck in anger on Sunday.
Here are all round four tee times for the 2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic.
