All it takes is one week to turn a year around. Cam Davis proved that on Sunday at the Rocket Mortgage Classic when, after finishing no better than T-12 in 16 starts in 2024, the 29-year-old Australian claimed his second career PGA Tour title.
With a birdie on the 18th hole, Davis shot a final-round 70 to post an 18-under 270 total for the week at Detroit Golf Club, winning by one shot over Davis Thompson, Min Woo Lee, Aaron Rai and Akshay Bhatia.
“From where I was a couple weeks ago to today, I’m a completing different person,” Davis said after the round, holding back tears. “I wouldn’t wish what happened on Akshay to anyone, I’ve done a lot of grinding to get myself out of a hole, then all of a sudden … it’s pretty good.”
Indeed, Davis good fortune was aided by Bhatia’s late stumble. Standing over a 28-footer for birdie on the 18th hole that would have put him at 19 under par and given him the victory, Bhatia left the putt four feet, three inches short. He then pulled his putt for par, making his first three-putt of the week to cost him a shot at winning in a playoff.
Davis previously won the Rocket Mortgage in 2021, becoming the event’s first two-time winner. In the process, he earned a prize money payout of $1.65 million from the overall purse of $9.2 million.
