In some respects, Cameron Davis is the Aussie on the PGA TOUR that no one saw coming.

The 2014 Victorian Amateur champion, Davis won the Australian Amateur title in 2015 and in 2016 was the individual winner at the Eisenhower Trophy that the Australian team won by 19 strokes in Mexico.
Those within the inner sanctum of Australian golf knew Davis had game but when he chased down Jason Day to clinch the 2017 Australian Open from six strokes back the 22-year-old entered a new stratosphere.

Here s the thing. I ve never had as much conviction with Rahm as I do for this tournament at this time, and I picked Rahm to win the BMW Championship last year! I m convinced he s going to win, so I have to play him!

No fans at Riviera, no amateurs in Palm Springs for PGA Tour
By DOUG FERGUSONJanuary 13, 2021 GMT
HONOLULU (AP) No fans in Los Angeles. No amateurs in Palm Springs. Those were the latest announcements on PGA Tour stops in California as golf heads back to the mainland next week.

“Throughout our extensive planning, it became clear that due to the pandemic the best way to ensure the safety for all involved is to hold the tournament without spectators,” tournament director Mike Antolini said Tuesday.
