DETROIT (AP) — Cam Davis won his second tournament at the Rocket Mortgage Classic on Sunday with a 2-under 70, winning by one stroke after Akshay Bhatia three-putted from 32 feet on the final hole.
Davis, the 29-year-old Australian who won his first PGA Tour title three years ago at the Detroit Golf Club, tied Bhatia with a birdie on the par-5 17th hole.
That proved enough on the 18th hole when Bhatia attempted a 4-foot par but missed low, resulting in his first three-putt of the week.
Davis finished at 18-under 270 after a day when final pairing Bhatia and Aaron Lai missed out on even-par 72s each. Davis Thompson (68) and Ming Woo Lee (69) also finished one stroke behind.
Davis became the first two-time winner in the event since it first appeared on the PGA Tour schedule in 2019.
The 22-year-old Bhatia was seeking his third PGA Tour victory and second this year after either leading or sharing the lead after the first three rounds.
Cameron Young shot 73 and then made two bogeys in his final three holes to plummet to sixth place. Young, who is yet to win on the PGA Tour, broke his driver in frustration on the 14th tee box.
