Davies was born in Edinburgh, Scotland but has lived in Wales for the majority of his life. He played collegiate golf in the United States at East Tennessee State University where he won ten times. He played on two Walker Cup teams (2005 and 2007) before turning pro in 2007.

Davies successfully came through the Asian Tour's qualifying school, allowing him to play on that tour for the 2008 season.

Davies won twice on the Challenge Tour in 2009 and finished fourth on the Challenge Tour Rankings to earn his European Tour card for 2010. He won his first European Tour title at the 2010 Trophée Hassan II. At the 2010 Celtic Manor Wales Open, he shot a final round 62 to set the course record on his way to finishing as runner-up. This performance elevated Davies into the top 50 of the Official World Golf Rankings for the first time. He finished the season ranked 18th on the European Tour Order of Merit.

Before deciding to make golf his career, Davies played cricket at junior level for both Glamorgan and Wales and was included in the England under-15 and under-17 squads.
