Cam Davis Ignites WM Phoenix Open With Jaw-Dropping Eagle at Iconic 17th
The WM Phoenix Open reminded the golf world why it is unlike any other stop on the PGA Tour and it happened in a matter of seconds on one of the most dangerous holes in the sport.
TPC Scottsdale’s 17th hole is only 332 yards on the card, but it has ended tournaments and shattered confidence for years. It is a hole that forces a decision. Play it safe and protect your score, or take the risk and chase something special. On Friday, Cam Davis chose risk and the moment changed his entire tournament.
Davis arrived at the 17th sitting at even par, right on the edge of the cut line. For players in that position, there is no comfort. One loose swing can send you packing. One bold shot can give you life. With thousands of fans buzzing around the stadium-style hole, Davis stepped up and unleashed a drive straight down the middle. The ball landed, took a heavy forward bounce and rolled toward the cup before stopping just feet away.

Moments later, Davis calmly rolled in the eagle putt. In an instant, he jumped to two under par, flipped the pressure back onto the field and gave himself a real chance to play the weekend. A steady par at the final hole sealed the turnaround and suddenly a golfer fighting to survive was breathing much easier.
This is why the WM Phoenix Open matters. It is not just about leaderboards or purses. It is about momentum, nerve and decision-making under noise and chaos. The 17th hole at Scottsdale does not reward hesitation. It rewards commitment and it punishes fear. Davis showed exactly what it takes to seize a moment when everything is on the line.
The significance goes beyond one eagle. As the tournament tightens, that hole will continue to shape the outcome. Leaders may choose caution, hoping to protect an advantage. Chasers will feel the same pull Davis felt, knowing that one perfect swing can erase mistakes and rewrite the week. History at this course shows that championships can be won or lost right there.
Around him, the leaderboard is packed with storylines. Big names are grinding to stay alive. Others are surging with aggressive play. But Davis’ eagle stands out because it captures the soul of this event. Bold golf, loud crowds and instant consequences.
