GOLF:Fallen Aussie golfer fires up at Canadian Open

Anxiously playing for his PGA Tour future, fallen Australian golf star Cam Davis has emerged from the wilderness to post his best round in almost two months.

Davis started with a two-under-par 68 at the Canadian Open to raise hopes of a decent finish that just might spark a desperately needed career revival.

The former Australian Open champion still sits four shots behind the six players sharing the first-round lead, including five-time major winner Brooks Koepka, but it's a start after missing eight cuts in 2026.

The stressed-out two-time PGA Tour winner took an extended break from the game last year, hoping a mental reset would lead to a turnaround.

"The pressure of trying to keep my card out there has held me back quite a lot. It's pretty hard to enjoy it sometimes when you feel like your job's on the line every week," Davis said.
