Davis wins PGA Tour stop in Detroit

-

Cam Davis won the Rocket Mortgage Classic at the Detroit Golf Club for his first PGA Tour title when Troy Merritt missed a 6-foot par putt on the fifth hole of a playoff.

Davis missed putts to win on each of the playoff holes. The 26-year-old Australian left 6- and 18-foot putts high, a 25-foot putt low and a 19-footer high. He misread a break on a 12-foot putt on the fifth playoff hole, then won when Merritt made bogey.

Davis closed with a 5-under 67 to match Merritt (68) and Joaquin Niemann (68) at 18-under 270. Niemann dropped out of the playoff with a bogey on the first extra hole, his first bogey of the week.
