Davis Thompson, the American pro who has been a regular on the PGA Tour for several seasons, has recently been struggling with the latter part of his swing. The golfer’s falling back motion – a key component for generating power on long drives – has produced inconsistent ball flight and lower yardage in recent tournaments.

The issue comes just weeks before the Bermuda Open, the first PGA Tour event to be staged on the island’s shores. The tournament, held at the historic St. George’s Golf Club, is set to attract a global field and significant media attention. Local golf enthusiasts have followed Thompson’s form closely, hoping his experience will help him navigate the island’s famously windy courses.

Bermuda’s own golfers, such as national champion Sarah John and rising star Miguel Torres, have expressed optimism that the tournament will inspire a new generation of players. “Seeing a tour pro like Thompson compete here is a huge boost for us,” said John. “It reminds us that the game is accessible and that with hard work, we can reach the same level.”

Thompson’s coach, Mark Lewis, said the player is working on a targeted swing‑mechanics drill that focuses on maintaining a steady torso rotation. “We’re confident that the adjustments will come in time for the Bermuda Open,” Lewis added. The golf community on the island is hopeful that the pro’s home‑grown support will help him return to form before the tournament’s opening round."
