Akshay Bhatia was at the top of the leaderboard, all throughout the 2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit.
But he three-putted Sunday evening from 32 feet on the 18th green, giving Cam Davis his second victory in four years at Detroit Golf Club, finishing at 18-under-par 270.
Davis is the first two-time winner of Detroit’s flagship PGA Tour tournament that started in 2019, finishing one shot clear of Bhatia, Min Woo Lee, Aaron Rai and Davis Thompson. Davis, now a two-time Tour winner with both of them coming at Detroit Golf Club, watched the missed putt securing his win while warming up for a potential playoff on the third tee box.

Bhatia had just one bogey and no three-putts through 71 holes, as he was looking for his second win on the PGA Tour this season and third of his career.
