This one," he said, "nobody was going to take it away from me.” He stepped up to make a clutch birdie putt at 15 and then hit the shot of the final round at the par-3 16th to secure his first PGA Tour victory at the WM Phoenix Open.

Top-ranked Scottie Scheffler, Jordan Spieth, and Daniel Berger all made charges at the PGA Tour’s wildest stop, but the 32-year-old Detry won in his 68th start.

Thomas Detry nearly aced the rowdy 16th hole in a stretch of four closing birdies, shooting a 6-under 65 to win the Phoenix Open by seven shots for his first PGA Tour victory.
