Cam Davis Wins Rocket Mortgage Classic After Bhatia's Final-Hole Drama

Posted : 01 July 2024

Cam Davis clinched the Rocket Mortgage Classic title with a final-round 2-under-par 70, capitalizing on Akshay Bhatia's misfortune on the last hole, where Bhatia's three-putt dashed his hopes of forcing a playoff in Detroit on Sunday. Davis, who had shot consecutive 66s in the previous rounds, secured his second PGA Tour victory, the first being in this tournament three years ago. He finished at 18-under 270 on Detroit Golf Club's challenging North Course, which played tougher than earlier in the week.

 

Bhatia, who had led or shared the lead after each of the first three rounds, struggled to a final-round 72, ending tied at 17-under with Davis Thompson, Min Woo Lee, and Aaron Rai. Rai, playing alongside Bhatia in the final pairing, missed a chance to join the leaders after a costly push into the rough on the last hole led to a par finish.

 

Despite a strong start, including a lengthy birdie putt early on, Bhatia's game faltered with a bogey on the third hole and later challenges, including an errant tee shot on the 13th that led to a remarkable recovery for par. The 22-year-old from North Carolina, aiming for his second win of the year and third in his career, fell short as Davis surged into contention with timely birdies.

 

Min Woo Lee, boosted by a chip-in birdie on the 15th, briefly joined the leaders with a string of birdies but faltered with a bogey on the 18th, while Aaron Rai's earlier consistency waned with three bogeys in a crucial six-hole stretch. Rico Hoey's strong finish with a 67 saw him tied for sixth place with Eric Cole, Cameron Young, and Erik van Rooyen at 15 under, rounding out a competitive leaderboard at the Rocket Mortgage Classic.
