Davis started Sunday in the one-loss bracket, beating Watson 7-1 in a feature match dud, but the rest of his day was grueling. He came from behind to beat Janis 7-6 with a safe on the case 9 ball, fought through Hickory's Chuck Ritchie and then Leon Long by 7-5 scores, and finally ousted Mike Fuller to reach Ray, again 7-5.Fuller has taken fourth place two straight weekends at the biggest tournaments in the region, and this week he made a strong charge through the one-loss bracket himself. It was Davis who would emerge with a 7-3 win over Robert Ray, a traveler from Raleigh who looked tired from all-night sessions.Davis never got a chance to beat Brady a second time, as the steady Charlotte native played a tactically sound final to clinch an unbeaten Viking Tour victory.
