DETROIT (AP) – Cam Davis earned his first PGA Tour title when Troy Merritt missed a 6-foot par putt on the fifth hole of a playoff at the Rocket Mortgage Classic.  Davis closed with a 5-under 67 to match Merritt and Joaquin Niemann at 18-under 270 at Detroit Golf Club. Niemann dropped out of the playoff with a bogey on the first extra hole, his first bogey of the week.  Niemann had a chance to win it on the 72nd hole, but left a 17-foot putt high.  Davis holed a 50-foot sand shot for eagle on the par-5 17th and birdied the par-4 18th.
