“5-under is a pretty low score in a major” – 2x PGA Tour winner gets candid about PGA Championship conditions after top-3 start

2-time PGA Tour winner Cam Davis got candid about the PGA Championship conditions after the second round. Davis is playing at the second major of the season this week, and he's sitting in second place. Davis is two shots behind Jhonattan Vegas, who's sitting atop the leaderboard.

Following the first round, Davis was asked to reflect upon his thoughts after watching others play at the major. In response, Davis shared his notion about the competition and his upcoming plans for the rest of the tournament. His words read (via ASAP Sports):

“I did watch a little bit of golf. Honestly, the only golf I saw on TV was the Scottie/Xander/Rory group play 16, and I was like, I'm looking forward to playing 16 after watching them all have a hard time on it. Honestly, I thought with it being softer than it would normally be, the scores were going to be maybe a little bit lower than they would have been otherwise. The wind wasn't up too much.”

Davis continued to talk about the golf course. He said:

“But at the same time, this golf course is just -- it's known for being a really tough test, even if the weather is good. The only way you shoot a good score is by not trying to shoot a really good score but just having a few extra putts drop from 20, 30 feet after good shots to get there. I'm not surprised. I'm surprised actually someone didn't get a really low one today, but at the same time, 5-under is a pretty low score in a major actually, so pretty happy with it.”

Cam Davis' score is 5 under, and he shot 66 in the first round of the tournament with three birdies on the front nine and four on the back nine.
