Cam Davis (Australia) has once again won the Rocket Mortgage Classic (total prize money of $9.2 million) on the US PGA

Tour after three years.

Davis recorded a total score of 18-under 270 with 4 birdies and 2 bogeys in the 4th round of the final day of the

tournament held at the Detroit Golf Club (par 72) in Detroit, Michigan, USA on the 1st (Korean time).

Davis, who finished the match ahead of the champion Joe and was preparing for an extension, ended up winning the

tournament after Akshay Bhatia (USA), who was tied for the lead, made a bogey on the 18th hole (par 4).

Davis claimed his first PGA Tour win at the 2021 Rocket Mortgage Classic and followed that up with his second win at the

same event, earning $1.656 추천 million.

Davis appeared to be out of contention for the title after he recorded a bogey on the par-5 14th hole when his second shot

ended up in the water hazard just short of the green.

However, he finished the game first by making a birdie on the 17th hole (par 5) and sharing the lead with Bhatia.

Left-handed Bhatia, who has two career wins on the PGA Tour, made a mistake on the par-4 13th hole when he pulled his

tee shot and hit a tree on the right side of the fairway, sending it only 97 yards, but he made par.

Bhatia, who was tied for the lead, missed the chance to go into an extension after failing to make a 1.3m par putt on the

18th hole (par 4) despite placing the ball on the green with his second shot.

"I don't want what happened to Bhatia to happen to anyone else," Davis said. "I've worked hard and overcome difficulties

in my own way, and I'm just happy that I've suddenly achieved this."

Australian resident Lee Min-woo also attempted to force an extension by reducing his score by 4 strokes through the 17th

hole, but suffered a painful bogey on the 18th hole and finished the tournament tied for 2nd place (17-under 271 strokes)

with Bhatia, Davis Thompson (USA), and Aaron Lai (England).
