Like tennis ace Nick Kyrgios, Cam Davis is living proof that going solo in world sport's other most global of individual pursuits isn't such a bad thing.
Davis has returned home to Sydney for this week's Australian Open golf championship coachless, but with fond memories of his watershed 2017 triumph on the same course and off the back of the best year of his flourishing career.
After missing five straight cuts on the PGA Tour in early 2023, few pundits could have tipped the 28-year-old to crack the world's top 50 and boast a tie for sixth at the The Players' Championship and a joint-fourth at the PGA Championship - all without a coach.
