ROSEBURY, Australia — In a thrilling final on
Sunday at The Australian Golf Club, Cameron
Davis secured his place in history as an
Australian Men's Amateur champion, winning on
the 37th hole against Tyler Hodge.
Through 14 holes, the New Zealander Hodge had
Davis, of Australia, in a 4-down hole. But by the
time the two reached the halfway point, Davis
had won four consecutive holes to force the
match all-square.
Davis didn't take the lead at any point in the
match until the 31st hole — the par-4 13th when
his par won the hole to take a 1-up lead with
five to play. He bogeyed the 16th and the two
went to the final two holes at all-square.
