SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Thomas Detry nearly aced the rowdy 16th hole in a stretch of four closing birdies, shooting a 6-under 65 on Sunday to win the Phoenix Open by seven shots for his first PGA Tour victory.
A year after soggy conditions led to multiple delays, perfect weather greeted players at TPC Scottsdale's Stadium Course. The fans also were on their best behavior --mas much as they can be at the PGA Tour's wildest stop -- following a mayhem-filled 2024 tournament.
Detry took advantage of the ideal conditions and navigated the rowdiness to enter the final round with a five-shot lead.
