Davis was beyond ecstatic
about his first career victory, fol-
lowing a tumultuous season.
"The beginning of the year
didn't go the way I wanted and I
sort of went from an all-time low
to all-time high at the end of the
season," Davis said. "KR4 has re-
ally stepped up and provided me
with an awesome program and I
just couldn't be happier."
