2024 John Deere Classic: Top 10 power rankings at TPC Deere Run

It was hard to see Cam Davis’ win last week at the Rocket Mortgage Classic coming.

That’s not to say he doesn’t know how to win on the PGA Tour; he did it in 2021 at that very same event.

However, the Aussie wasn’t in all that great of form heading to Detroit Golf Club. Davis had yet to record a top-10 all season and hadn’t finished inside the top 30 since April, where he posted T-12th at Augusta National.

“I’m working with a hypnotherapist that I only just started working with, just trying to take a different approach to try and get my head back in the right place,” Davis was transcribed by Tee Scripts. “Yeah, I honestly haven't been a very good place mentally at all for the last six months or so. I felt like all the opportunities have been slipping out of my hands as the year progresses without playing very good golf. I had a great week at the Masters and it feels like since then it all had just left me.”

Davis carded 68-66-66-70 in Detroit to win by one over Akshay Bhatia, who graciously missed a 4-footer on the 72nd hole that would’ve sent them to a playoff.

Davis was top-30 on the week in all Strokes Gained stats, including ninth in Around-the-Green (3.052). He also led the field in birdies, which is a good sign for this week.

Another good sign for the 29-year-old is he’s made both of his cuts at the John Deere Classic.

Davis took T-55th (67-69-73-69) in 2021 and T-8th (68-68-65-68) the following year. Seven of eight rounds in the 60s, even at an easy layout like TPC Deere Run, is impressive stuff.
