Amateur career

Davis had a successful amateur career. In 2015 he won the Australian Amateur and was a runner-up in the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship, behind Jin Cheng. In 2016 he was part of the Australian team who won the Eisenhower Trophy in Mexico and he was also the individual winner. The Australian team won the team event by 19 strokes and Davis finished 2 strokes ahead of fellow-Australian Curtis Luck in the individual event.[2]

Professional career

Davis turned professional in late 2016.[3] He played in the OHL Classic at Mayakoba and finished tied for 15th place.

Davis qualified for the 2017 PGA Tour Canada by finishing fourth in the Q-school. He was tied for 14th in his first event, the Freedom 55 Financial Open, but had a disappointing season, finishing 76th on the tour's rankings and losing his card. In November he won the Emirates Australian Open, a stroke ahead of Jonas Blixt and Matt Jones, after a final round 64 for his first professional win and automatic qualification into the 2018 Open Championship, as the tournament was part of the Open Qualifying Series.[4] Davis also has status on the Web.com Tour for 2018 after reaching the final round of Q School, after starting at First Stage.[5] Despite finishing too low at Q School to earn significant Web.com Tour privileges, Davis won the Nashville Golf Open.
