Davis wins Australian Open

SYDNEY — No one was more surprised by who won the Australian Open than the champion himself.

Cameron Davis came from six shots behind going into the final round to win by one stroke on Sunday, shooting a 7-under 64 that included a birdie on the 18th and an eagle after holing a 100-meter approach shot.

The star draw cards — Jason Day and Jordan Spieth — were top 10 finishers, but weren't holding the Stonehaven Cup aloft at the end of the day.

"It's a little bit numb at the moment," Davis said. "I just didn't expect to be in this situation."

Davis started his round six groups ahead of the final one that included Day. When Davis finished with his 64, he had to wait more than an hour, most of it taken up at the practice range in case there was a playoff.

"I didn't even see a leaderboard before I hit that putt on the last hole," Davis said. "So I made that, and I thought, 'I'll be up around the top'. But to come into the scorers' hut and see where I was at, I was kind of blown away. I had no idea I'd be there."

Adding to the surprise: Davis lost his card to play on the Mackenzie Tour in Canada this year and before Sunday, had never had a top-10 finish as a professional. And last week he missed the cut in the New South Wales Open.

The 22-year-old Australian finished with an 11-under total of 273 at The Australian Golf Club, where gusty and unpredictable winds made low scoring difficult. AP
