Phil Davies in Series 78.

Phil Davies was an octochamp in Series 78.

He started his run on 5 February, bottoming out at 75 points in his third game, but then climbing to a high of 114 in his seventh. On Valentine’s Day, he missed the conundrum on his final game which denied him a fourth consecutive century and provisional number one seed, but still achieved three centuries in his eight wins to become the second octochamp of the series.

Davies' 757 points netted him a place in the Series 78 finals as the #4 seed, and he returned in June to face former Series 32 finalist Paul Harper. Davies spotted the nine OUTRANGES early in the show and mounted a 42-point lead, but in the second and third "halves" Harper clawed back the deficit until he was nearly within striking distance. Only an evenly matched final numbers round prevented a crucial conundrum and assured Davies a place in the semis.

Since his octorun, Davies has become an Apterite.
