Cameron Davis’ 6th place finish at the Barracuda Championship in California over the weekend has moved the 27 year old seven places to 78th in the Fed Ex Cup standings and his next task is to elevate his standing further to ensure he is well placed to gains starts in the opening two events of the FedEx Cup Finals.
The top 125 at the completion of the regular season at the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro on August the 7th will gain a start in the first of the Finals, the FedEx St Jude Championship in Tennessee, the leading 70 after that event are eligible for the BMW Championship in Delaware the following week and the leading 30 make it to the Tour Championship in Atlanta beginning on August 25th.
Davis continues to impress in his early years on the PGA Tour and like Cameron Smith was an Australian Amateur Champion before turning professional and was also a member of the winning Australian Eisenhower Trophy team and a winner of the individual in that event in 2016.
Davis also won the 2017 Australian Open Championship at the Australian Golf Club further stamping his potential.
His progress on the PGA Tour has not been quite as meteoric as Smith’s but it has been solid with a victory, two 3rd place finishes and numerous top tens and he appears on track for a very successful career.
At this stage, the Australasians inside the all important 125 with just three regular season PGA Tour events to play are Cameron Smith (2nd), Lucas Herbert (43rd), Marc Leishman (60th), Matt Jones (61st) Adam Scott (74th), Cameron Davis (78th), Danny Lee (83rd) and Jason Day (122nd).
