Davis Lamb Captures First Korn Ferry Tour Victory at Club Car Championship

The landscape of Davis Lamb’s career shifted dramatically this past weekend in Savannah, Georgia, as he secured his first Korn Ferry Tour Victory at the Club Car Championship. Competing at the challenging Landings Golf & Athletic Club, the 28-year-old Bethesda, Maryland native delivered a masterclass in consistency and composure, finishing with a total score of 19-under-par to claim a two-stroke victory over runner-up John Pak.

This milestone win represents more than just a trophy for Lamb; it serves as a definitive statement in his professional journey. By securing the title, Lamb has vaulted to the #3 spot on the Korn Ferry Tour Points List, placing him in an elite position to earn his 2027 PGA TOUR card at the end of the season. For the team at Fidelity Sports Group, watching Lamb’s development culminate in this victory at The Landings is a testament to the grit and technical precision he has displayed since turning professional in 2021.

The Catalyst: A Red-Hot Friday

While the final putt on Sunday provided the glory, the foundation for Lamb’s victory was laid during a spectacular second round on Friday. After an opening 69, Lamb entered the second day with momentum, but few could have predicted the scoring spree that followed.

Lamb fired a 9-under-par 63 on the Deer Creek Course, a round that featured a flurry of birdies, near-flawless ball striking and a red-hot putter. This allowed Lamb to climb the leaderboard and establish himself amongst the leaders.

Navigating The Landings Golf & Athletic Club

The Club Car Championship is famously contested at The Landings Golf & Athletic Club, specifically on the Deer Creek Course. Designed by Tom Fazio, the course demands strategic off-the-tee play and precise iron work into undulating greens. Throughout the week, Savannah’s unpredictable coastal winds tested the field’s resolve, making Lamb’s scoring even more impressive.

Lamb’s ability to navigate the par-5s proved to be a significant advantage. However, it was his discipline on the difficult par-3s and long par-4s that truly separated him from the pack. While other competitors found the hazards or struggled around and on the greens, Lamb remained disciplined, leading to a bogey free Sunday in very gusty conditions.

A Sunday Duel: Holding Off John Pak and Blades Brown

Entering the final round, the narrative centered on a potential shootout between Lamb, John Pak and 18 year old phenom Blades Brown. Pak, a former standout at Florida State and a seasoned competitor, led for portions of the tournament and remained a constant threat throughout Sunday afternoon.

The final round was a battle of attrition. Lamb began the day one shot back, knowing that any mistake would open the door for Pak. What followed was a display of “clutch” golf in its purest form. Lamb carded a bogey-free 4-under-par 68, a round defined by par saves and timely scoring.

The pressure reached its peak on the back nine. As Pak continued to apply pressure with lengthy par saves on 11, 16 and 17, Lamb remained unfazed. His ability to match Pak’s scoring without dropping a single shot demonstrated a level of maturity that is often the hallmark of a champion. On the 18th hole, a narrow par-5 that has seen its fair share of drama over the years, Lamb drained a birdie putt to put the contest out of reach. He finished the week at 19-under, two strokes clear of Pak, who finished solo second.

The Significance of the Victory

This win at the Club Car Championship is a career-altering achievement for Davis Lamb. The victory represents the culmination of years of hard work, from his collegiate days at the University of Notre Dame to his early years on the developmental tours.

The financial and professional rewards are substantial. Moving to #3 on the Korn Ferry Tour Points List places Lamb on a fast track to the PGA TOUR in 2027, provided he maintains a reasonable level of play for the remainder of the season.

This success is particularly rewarding for Fidelity Sports Group, which has supported Lamb through the nuances of his professional ascent since 2023 and his first of three wins on PGA TOUR Americas. His journey: from securing his 2026 Korn Ferry Tour membership to standing in the winner’s circle in Savannah: highlights the trajectory we strive for with all our athletes.

The victory in Savannah will be remembered as the moment Davis Lamb graduated from a “player to watch” to a proven winner. As the tour moves on to the next stop, the golfing world will be watching to see how the new #3 in the standings continues his march toward the PGA TOUR.

Congratulations to Davis on a historic performance. The Fidelity Sports family is incredibly proud of this achievement and looks forward to what the rest of 2026 has in store.
