Aussie star locked in to play majors Down Under

Australian star and world No.44 Cam Davis is heading home to play the country's two major golf tournaments next month.

The 28-year-old Sydneysider is the latest confirmed superstar locked in for the Australian PGA Championship and the Australian Open.

Davis came from the clouds to win the Australian Open in 2017 when he was just 22 years old.

He's since won an event on the PGA Tour, has scored seven top-10 results this season, and has climbed the World Golf Rankings to now be inside the top 50.

"It's always enjoyable to come back home and being part of the summer golf in Australia," Davis said on Thursday.

"I have great memories of The Australian and going back there, as well as The Lakes, for the Open is something I'm very much looking forward to.

"Last year's PGA Championship at Royal Queensland had great crowds, with a huge vibe, and I'm sure with the field that's being assembled, it'll be a fun event to be part of again in November."

Davis will return home to Sydney for the Open, which will be held at two courses from November 30 to December 3.

A week prior to that, he will be at Royal Queensland for the PGA Championship from November 23.

The PGA Championship was last year won by former world No.2 and fellow Aussie Cameron Smith, who has already confirmed his attendance at the two majors Down Under next month.

The two Aussie majors are co-sanctioned by the DP World Tour – formerly European Tour.
