Cam Davis: What's in the bag of the 2021 Rocket Mortgage Classic winner
Cam Davis overcame Troy Merritt and Joaquin Niemann in a five-hole playoff at Detroit Golf Club to win his first PGA Tour title.
Cam Davis has won his first title on the PGA Tour after he beat Troy Merritt and Joaquin Niemann in a five-hole playoff at the Rocket Mortgage Classic.
It was a very eventful day in Detroit on Sunday which saw a number of different players contend, but it was Davis, Merritt and Niemann who reached the 18-under-par mark.
A highlight of Davis' round was when he holed a superb bunker shot on the par-5 17th hole for an eagle, and he followed that up with a birdie on the 18th hole for a grandstand finish.
The first playoff hole took place on the 18th hole which Niemann made a bogey on to drop out. Davis applied constant pressure to Merritt as he had a look at birdie for the win on each playoff hole.
They reached the fifth playoff hole, which was the par-3 15th hole, where Davis hit a solid shot into the middle of the green but Merritt fell short of the green, giving himself a tricky chip.
As Davis made a par, Merritt missed a short putt for par and conceded victory. The Australian became the seventh first-time winner on the PGA Tour this season and the fourth Australian to win on tour in 2021.
