Akshay Bhatia's bogey on the final hole, after three putts from 32 feet, sealed Davis' victory. The win brought Davis a hefty payday of $1.656 million, exceeding his combined earnings from his previous 16 tournaments. This success came after working with hypnotherapist Grace Smith, who improved his mental focus.
