Belgian golfer Thomas Detry claimed his first PGA Tour title at the Phoenix Open, winning by seven strokes with a remarkable six-under par 65 on Sunday. Detry's 24-under total of 260 at TPC Scottsdale made him the first Belgian to win on the US circuit.
SCOTTSDALE - Thomas Detry birdied the last four holes in a masterful six-under par 65 on Sunday to win the Phoenix Open by seven strokes, his first PGA Tour title making him the first Belgian to win on the US circuit.
He kept his cool amid the raucous atmosphere as a handful of challengers -- including three-time major winner Jordan Spieth and world number one Scottie Scheffler -- tried and failed to make inroads on his five-shot overnight lead. It was Berger's lone bogey of the day after five birdies, his four-under 67 leaving him tied for second on 267 with American Michael Kim, who also had five birdies in a 67.
A seven-foot birdie at the par-five 15th launched his bravura finish. At 16, the par-three ringed by multi-story hospitality suites, he thrilled some 20,000 fans with a tee shot that threatened the pin and left him little more than a foot for birdie.
