Australian Cam Davis has survived a tense battle for survival on this year’s PGA Tour and will advance to the first of the FedEx Cup playoffs this coming week in Memphis.
Davis needed to be inside the top 70 of the FedEx Cup rankings at the completion of the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro today, and a birdie at his 17th hole today and a 12-foot par-saving putt at the last saw him finish in 44th place in the event and 69th position in the FedEx Cup rankings.
Davis had been on the bubble for much of the weekend, and a triple bogey at his 11th hole today threatened to bring his season to a close before the playoffs, but birdies at the 12th, 15th and 17th holes and the par save at the last saw him survive to live another day.
Therefore Ryan Fox, Jason Day, Minwoo Lee and Cam Davis are the Australasians will tee it up in the first of the playoffs, the St Jude FedEx Championship starting in Memphis on Thursday as they chase a spot in the top 50 to advance to the BMW Championship in Maryland the following week and into the top 30 to make it to the Tour Championship in Atlanta in three weeks’ time.
