Cam Davis lifts up the trophy to celebrate winning Rocket Mortgage Classic at Detroit Golf Club in Detroit on Sunday, June 30, 2024. After a strong start to the season, Cam Davis has cooled considerably with seven missed cuts since February.
The two-time Rocket Classic champion hopes a return to the Motor City can restart his engines when the action begins Thursday at the Detroit Golf Club.
“I would say an event like this definitely seems like a bright spot on the calendar,” Davis told reporters Tuesday. “Yeah, when things are a little rough and I’m finding it hard to get the best out of myself, going somewhere that you feel good just being there always is going to look really appetizing as it comes up.”
The 30-year-old Australian has two career PGA Tour titles, both in this event. He survived a three-man playoff to win in 2021 and held off four players to claim victory by one stroke last year, finishing 18 under in both events.
“A place like this (can) bring back some good memories and good vibes,” he said. “I’ve played this place really well before and I know a game plan that has worked multiple times now, so if there’s any way that I’m going to draw some confidence just by being in a physical location, it’s this place.”
Davis began the 2025 campaign with top-20 finishes at three of his first four events, including a T5 at Pebble Beach.
He has only two top-20 finishes since then, including a T19 at the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow last month. He missed the cut at the Masters and finished T64 at the U.S. Open at Oakmont in this season’s other majors.
Last week, Davis tied for 57th place at the Travelers Championship in Connecticut.
“Season got off to I think the best start I’ve ever had on the PGA Tour,” he said. “I’ve been out here for a while now, but I played some really good golf for the first month and a half. Then I would say since then it’s been pretty rough going. I haven’t really seen myself play much good golf as of late. The PGA Championship was a nice little change, I had a couple of solid rounds there, but for the most part it’s been a little bit of searching, trying to get some magic back.”
Davis said he is looking forward to reversing his fortunes this week in Detroit, where a $9.6 million purse awaits the field at the 7,370-yard, par-72 track.
“I’ve been playing as hard as I can. There’s been a lot of great tournaments that we’ve just gone through and I’ve been through them all and not found, you know, the spark that I really wanted to find,” he said.
“Yeah, this one in particular, I’m really glad it’s turned up now because there’s no better time to turn things around than getting right back here again.”

The Rockies Have 25 Games Left to Prove They Are Not Among the Worst Ever
The Rockies might not actually lose a record 122 games or more. It's not that they have been good over the summer, but Colorado has certainly changed the nature of their losing. They have a .380 winning percentage and 30-49 record since the start of June – which again, is bad – but it's "lose 101 games" bad, not "set a new historical mark for incompetence". Which is where they were through May, when they had just nine – nine! – wins in their first 58 games.The thing is, that horrid early start still lingers enough that the Rockies aren't completely out of the woods yet. If they have a putrid September on par with some of their earlier work in the year, well, any optimism built up from the summer is going to vanish in a hurry. And even […]
Prvoligový objev Cupák naposledy se svou třídou, děti svému učiteli úspěch přejí
FotogaleriePrvní školní den byl pro žáky sedmé třídy sportovní školy jiný než obvykle. Museli se rozloučit se svým oblíbeným třídním učitelem. Ten dostal přes léto nabídku, která se neodmítá. V šestadvaceti letech první profesionální smlouvu s prvoligovým fotbalovým týmem. Příležitost vzal pevně do svých rukou a na ligových trávnících je pořádně vidět. Za první dvě kola vstřelil univerzální středopolař dvě branky a během sedmi odehraných kol k nim přidal i dvě asistence.Do třídy vstupoval s pokorou, hned jak jej žáci spatřili, sklidil obrovský potlesk. Aby ne, ve škole je oblíbený. Mohli by být naštvaní, že od nich odchází, ale přejí mu štěstí v jeho nastoupené kariéře. „Pro pana učitele je to velký úspěch. Všichni mu to moc přejeme. Hraje první ligu, takže výborně. Navíc nám ukázal dobrou motivaci. Jít si za svým cílem,“ sdělil pro Sport.cz třináctiletý fotbalista Honza.Sportovní třídu dostal Michal Cupák na starosti před rokem. „Všichni […]
US Open 2025 live updates: Day 9 scores, results with De Minaur ahead, Gauff, Sinner, Swiatek later
The last couple of days have served as a reminder that playing tennis when level or behind is very different from playing when ahead, especially for underdogs.Saturday, Denis Shapovalov got to 40-40 on his own serve at 3-1 in the third set against Jannik Sinner. Sinner’s shoelace snapped, so he paused to change his shoe, giving Shapovalov time to think he likely did not need. Sinner put on his shoes, broke Shapovalov’s serve and rolled to victory untroubled from there.And over on Louis Armstrong Stadium, Taylor Townsend got herself to within a point of beating Barbora Krejčíková on no fewer than eight occasions. She couldn’t seize the moment, undone by her own caution while ahead and Krejčíková’s freedom when behind, with the Czech blazing winners onto the lines to save several of them.The ability to step up in such moments […]
Ve Vlašimi skončil trenér Harant, nahradil ho Pilný
Osmatřicetiletý Harant v červnu nahradil Aleše Majera, který převzal Mladou Boleslav v nejvyšší soutěži. Tým pod Harantovým vedením prohrál poslední tři zápasy a po osmi kolech nového ročníku druhé ligy má jen čtyři body. Horší je pouze Kroměříž, která je bez bodu.Vlašim se nyní pokusí pozvednout bývalý kouč prvoligového Hradce Králové Pilný, jenž vedl také druholigové celky Žižkov, Příbram, Sokolov nebo Duklu Praha. „Jsme dohodnuti na spolupráci a pevně věříme, že během reprezentační přestávky dokáže pan Pilný mužstvo připravit na nadcházející zápas v Příbrami,“ uvedl sportovní ředitel Jan Jícha.
