Cam Davis well placed at FedEx St Jude Classic
Cam Davis – finding form at a great time of the season
Cam Davis, one of only two Australians to have made it to the opening event of the FedEx Cup Playoffs, finds himself in a share of 8th place and three shots from the leader, Lucas Glover, at the halfway mark of the FedEx St Jude Classic in Memphis.
Davis added a second round of 67 over the TPC Southwind layout and has now moved to a projected 47th in the FedEx Cup rankings, needing to be inside the top 50 to advance to next week’s BMW Championship in Illinois.
With consecutive top tens at his last two PGA Tour starts Davis is finding some nice form at a crucial time of the year given the lucrative nature of the Playoff events where each is worth a minimum of US$20 million.
Jason Day began the event well with a round of 68 yesterday but slipped to a 72 today and is now in 51st place this week and 20th place in the FedEx Cup standings overall but safe as far as reaching the BMW Championship is concerned.
The leader Lucas Glover backed up his win at last week’s Wyndham Championship (his 5th PGA Tour title and which he needed to gain a start this week) with rounds of 66 and 64 to lead by one over Jordan Spieth.
