Go hard or go home.

That’s the reality facing Sydney’s Cameron Davis as he eyes off a birdie blitz at the Barracuda Championship in hopes of retaining his PGA TOUR card for 2020.

The Modified Stableford format in play at the Barracuda Championship rewards those who can post plenty of red numbers and keep bogeys to a minimum.

Players receive two points for a birdie, five points for an eagle and eight points for a rare albatross but are docked one point for a bogey and three points for double bogey or worse.

Coming off his best result of his rookie season last week at the Barbasol Championship where he tied for 11th with seven birdies and an eagle in his final round, it could be just the format Davis needs to salvage his season.

Starting the week 161st in the FedEx Cup, nothing short of a win will be enough to propel Davis inside the top 125 but with a strong recent history of Aussie success in the event it is not beyond the realms of possibility.

Greg Chalmers secured the first PGA TOUR win of his career at the Barracuda three years ago while the 2014 Barracuda Championship was the eighth and most recent win of Geoff Ogilvy’s PGA TOUR career.

The 24-year-old Davis’s nine eagles this season places him 32nd on tour and his par-5 scoring average of 4.56 places him 35th, meaning there will be point-scoring opportunities at the four par-5s, two of which measure more than 600 yards.

With just one regular-season event remaining after this week prior to the FedEx Cup playoffs, it’s quite simply now or never for Davis.

Save for an extraordinary couple of weeks to come Curtis Luck looks destined to be headed for the Korn Ferry Tour finals if he is to play on the PGA TOUR again next season, starting this week in 171st position in the FedEx Cup.

Three legends round out the Aussie contingent this week with John Senden, Rod Pampling and Robert Allenby also expected to be in attack mode when they tee it up.
