The captain’s picks were selected for the International Team of the 2022 Presidents Cup in Charlotte, North Carolina from September 22-25. Among the six players chosen by the International Team captain Trevor Immelman of South Africa was one Australian in Cam Davis of Sydney, the 67th ranked player in the world.
Davis is 27 years old and won his first PGA Tour event in 2021. At the 2021 Rocket Mortgage Classic, he beat American Troy Merritt and Chile’s Joaquin Niemann in a playoff. Davis posted a four-round score of -18.
In 2022 on the PGA Tour, Davis has five top-10 finishes. They included a 10th place at the Sentry Tournament of Champions (won by fellow Australian Cameron Smith), a third place finish at the RBC Heritage, a seventh place at the Charles Schwab Challenge, eighth place at the John Deere Classic, and a sixth place at the Barracuda Championship.
The other captain picks are Christiaan Bezuidenhout of South Africa, Si Woo Kim and K.H. Lee of South Korea, Sebastian Munoz of Colombia, and Taylor Pendrith of Canada. Pendrith had an excellent performance at the 2022 Rocket Mortgage Classic where he tied for second.
Davis joins 2013 Masters champion Adam Scott of Adelaide as one of two Australians on the International Team. Other golfers on the international team include Hideki Matsuyama of Japan, Sungjae Im and Joohyung Kim of South Korea, Corey Conners of Canada, and Mito Pereira of Chile. Matsuyama, Im, Kim, Conners, Pereira, and Scott already made the team because they were the top golfers on the Presidents Cup International Team Points List. Smith and Chile’s Joaquin Niemann were ruled ineligible because they joined the LIV Tour.
