Seattle-based Sydney golfer, Cam Davis, has opened up the possibility of yet another great payday and perhaps another win on the PGA Tour, a second round of 68 at Spyglass Hill to go with his opening 65 at Pebble Beach Links leaving the 29 year old in a share of second place and three off the lead of Sepp Straka.
Playing his third event of the year, following to 20 finishes at the American Express and Sentry events earlier in January, Davis began his second round in the best possible fashion when he eagled the first hole when holing from just off the green at the par 5.
Four more birdies and a bogey had him just two from Straka’s lead but a dropped shot at the last has him entering the weekend three off the pace but very much in contention.
“Yeah, it was great to get off to a hot start with an eagle on the first, that kind of got me moving in the right direction very quickly,” said Davis.
“Honestly, played pretty well for most of the round. It was getting a little tricky to read the wind through the trees here. I think it’s a little more open down at Pebble, but out here it’s a little more swirly.
“A couple more missed greens and a couple loose tee shots, but we recovered well. The bogey on the last was a little annoying, but same time 4 under felt like a pretty solid day today.”
Davis is currently 52nd in the world ranking although he has a previous best of 38th and many feel he will reach much higher standing in the near future.
Tomorrow Davis and the rest of the field will focus their attention on Pebble Beach Links over the final 36 holes.
Jason Day added a round of 69 to be at 5 under par and in a share of 38th, Min Woo Lee is another shot back and Adam Scott is in 75th position at 1 over.
The leader Straka is chasing his second win in three weeks having led for most of the eay to win the American Express Championship in La Quinta in January.
