Cameron Davis has claimed his first major title with a win at the China Amateur Open.
Cameron started the event with a blistering round of 5 under par, 67. Cameron held a 2 shot lead after the 1st round and back up his stellar first round with a 1 under 71 in the 2nd round, even par 72 in the 3rd round and finished off with the 2nd best round of the day, a final round 3 under 69.
Cameron lead from start to finish and never looked seriously challenged as he held a 6 shot lead with 9 holes to play. A bogey free 2 under back 9 helped Cameron clinch his first major title.
A current NSW Squad member, Cameron has been working hard on his game and his hard work has paid off with a fantastic win over a quality field.
Fellow JNJG member Dylan Perry backed up his 8th place at the Aaron Baddeley International Junior Championships with a tied 3rd place at the China Amateur Open. Dlyan did his best to claw back the 6 shot deficit that he found himself in after a first round 73, but backed that up with rounds of 70, 70 and 71 to solidfy his place near the top of the leaderboard.
Congratulations to Cameron and Dylan on a fantastic 2 weeks in China at the Aaron Baddeley International Championships and the China Amateur Open.

After 2 rounds JNJG junior, Cameron Davis holds a 4 shot lead over fellow Australians Lucas Herbert (Vic) and 5 shot lead over fellow JNJG member Dylan Perry. Australia currently have a stranglehold at the top of the leader board with these 3 players in 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
Dylan Perry has shot consistant rounds of 73 & 70 (143) and Lucas Herbert 72 & 70 (142) has also started solidly, but Cameron Davis has outshone the field at an event he finished 2nd to Jake Higgenbottom in 2011, shooting a 5 under 67 in the first round followed up by a 1 under 71.
Cameron’s first round 67 included 9 birdies mixed in with a quadruple bogey 9 on the par 5, 10th.
Elizabeth Elmassian currently sites in 8th position in the Women’s field 5 shots off the lead, after the 1st round. An up and down round from Elizabeth, including a triple bogey has halted her charge up the leader board. Currently the first round for the women has been suspended with most players having only a few holes to go to complete their round.
With Australians dominating the leader board, we want to wish all our juniors the best of luck heading into the final 2 rounds. Good Luck and we wish you all the best!
