The title gets it right - Legend Davis.......

I think its amazing how his targets have changed over the years, but still remain realistic. When he was younger, his target was to win everything in sight, which he pretty much did. Mid 90's his target was remain in the top 8, which he did. 2000's was to remain top 16, which he (mostly did) and even now it is to remain on the tour, which considering the standard of players, is a tough one, but realistic for him. Other notable players have called it a day and retired when they drop out of the top 16 or 32 or whatever, but Steve still has the love and dedication to keep going and living the dream!

Good luck to him, as he truly is a fantastic ambassador and credit to the game.
