Sydney’s Cameron Davis has recorded his second top ten of the 2023 PGA Tour year with a share of 7th place at the RBC Heritage Classic at Harbour Town Golf Links at Hilton Head Island in South Carolina.
As was the case at the recent Players Championship where he finished an impressive 6th, this weeks’ tournament was one of the designated PGA Tour events and as such offered a total purse of US$20 million ensuring Davis will earn a cheque for US$607,000.
Davis tied for 3rd place in last year’s RBC Heritage confirming an affinity with the classic Pete Dye layout.
Davis was bogey free in his final round of 68, improving from 9th overnight to share 7th place with three others.
Davis’ good recent run comes after missing five of his first six cuts of 2023 and has him moving up the FedEx Cup points table after a slow start to the year.
“It was a good week,” said Davis. “I would like to have gotten a little more momentum going today and got a little higher up the leaderboard but always nice to finish inside the top ten.
“Hopefully it is the sign of good things to come and now I have a few weeks off before being back at the Wells Fargo in Charlotte (in early May)”
Of the other Australians, Adam Scott was 31st and Lucas Herbert 63rd.
The tournament was won by England’s Matthew Fitzpatrick who defeated Jordan Spieth in a playoff.
