He was known for his smooth yet powerful delivery and impeccably straight arm swing, which TV analysts Nelson Burton Jr. and Randy Pedersen have called one of the greatest in the game.
This title made Davis the youngest player in history (age 25 years, 343 days) to earn three PBA major championships.
[5] After a long drought from 1971 to 1974, Davis came roaring back with three titles in the 1975 season, including his fourth and final major at the Tournament of Champions.
[8] For a brief period, Davis spent time in the TV broadcast booth, alongside play-by-play announcer Chris Schenkel.
After the death of Schenkel's long-time broadcast partner, Billy Welu, in 1974, Davis and Dick Weber shared analyst duties on ABC-TV's Professional Bowlers Tour until Nelson Burton Jr. was hired as a full-time replacement in 1975.
[2] Davis had roomed on Tour with fellow PBA Hall of Famers and Brunswick pro staffers Dave Soutar and Johnny Petraglia.
