Amateur career

Being brought up in Sydney, Davis attended Wakehurst Public School and Davidson High displaying golf ability at an early age. He had a successful amateur career. In 2015 he won the Australian Amateur and was a runner-up in the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship, behind Jin Cheng. In 2016 he was part of the Australian team who won the Eisenhower Trophy in Mexico and he was also the individual winner. The Australian team won the team event by 19 strokes and Davis finished 2 strokes ahead of fellow-Australian Curtis Luck in the individual event. [2]

Professional career

Davis turned professional in late 2016. [3] He played in the OHL Classic at Mayakoba on the PGA Tour and finished tied for 15th place. [4]

Davis qualified for the 2017 PGA Tour Canada by finishing fourth in the Q-school. He was tied for 14th in his first event, the Freedom 55 Financial Open, but had a disappointing season, finishing 76th on the tour's rankings and losing his card. In November he won the Emirates Australian Open, a stroke ahead of Jonas Blixt and Matt Jones, after a final round 64 for his first professional win and automatic qualification into the 2018 Open Championship, as the tournament was part of the Open Qualifying Series. [5] Davis also had status on the Web.com Tour for 2018 after reaching the final round of Q School, despite starting at the First Stage. [6] Davis won the 2018 Nashville Golf Open, [4] and finished 7th on the Web.com Tour money list to secure his PGA Tour card. [7]

Davis struggled during the 2018-2019 PGA Tour season, and finished 160th on the FedEx Cup points list. However, he rebounded and finished 84th during the 2019–20 season. [4]

In July 2021, Davis earned his first PGA Tour victory by defeating Troy Merritt and Joaquín Niemann in a playoff at the Rocket Mortgage Classic. [8] He ended the season 37th on the FedEx Cup points list. [4]

In September 2022, Davis was selected for the International team in the 2022 Presidents Cup at Quail Hollow Club; he played all five matches, winning two and losing three. [9]

In June 2024, Davis won the Rocket Mortgage Classic for the second time in his career. Davis won by one shot over Akshay Bhatia, who three-putted and made bogey on the final hole. [10]
