Daniel Berger was on-course to claim a fifth PGA Tour title at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, but a back nine charge from Akshay Bhatia resulted in the 24-year-old claiming the trophy via a par at the first playoff hole.Going into the final day, Berger and Bhatia were among a handful of groups who had to return to complete their third rounds following a weather delay on Saturday.Playing the 18th, Berger was three clear but, following a bogey from him and a birdie from Bhatia, it meant the former's lead was just one as the final round teed off in the afternoon.
