From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Brian Davis (born in London on 2 August 1974) is an English professional golfer. He turned professional in 1994 and became a member of the European Tour in 1997. He performed steadily for his first six seasons on the Tour, and won the 2000 Peugeot Open de Espana. In 2003, despite not winning a tournament, he had his best season by far to that time, finishing ninth on the European Tour Order of Merit. The highlights of his season included finishing in a tie for sixth at The Open Championship, and placing third in the European Tour's tour championship, the Volvo Masters, as well as two second places in lower profile events and playing on the winning Great Britain and Ireland team in The Seve Trophy. His second European Tour win came in 2004 at the ANZ Trophy and later that year he became the first Englishman to win the PGA Tour Qualifying School finals. In 2005 he played on both the U.S. based PGA Tour and the European Tour and in 2006 he concentrated more on the PGA Tour, making only a handful of appearances in Europe.
