24-year-old Indian-Canadian, showed that his recent 5th place finish at The US$20 million Players Championship was no fluke, finishing tied sixth at the US$9.9 million Texas Children’s Houston Open with rounds of 69-66-65-67.
Yellamaraju, who largely learned the game by watching YouTube videos, has played eight events in his first full season on the PGA Tour, making seven cuts and recording two top-10 finishes, earning over US$1.6 million so far after playing the Korn Ferry Tour in 2025.
Finishing 10th was 28-year-old Indian-origin PGA Tour winner Sahith Theegala, from California, with scores of 67-67-66-68 who is making a comeback after sitting out most of 2025 with an injury.
Aaron Rai did not play the event, while Akshay Bhatia travelled to India and is preparing for the first major of the season, The Masters, scheduled from April 9–12.
