Davis stuns former World Champion
The in-form St Leonards player saw off Neil Robertson 5-1 in round two of the Australian Goldfields Open in Bendigo.
Robertson rattled through the opening frame without conceding a point, but it was all Davis thereafter. The world number 18 came from behind to win frame two and comfortably took the third to go in front.
