Thomas Detry earns first PGA win at WM Phoenix Open

Belgium's Thomas Detry shot 6-under-par 65 to collect his first PGA Tour victory, winning the WM Phoenix Open on Sunday at TPC Scottsdale Stadium course in Scottsdale, Ariz.

Detry kept improving on his way to a 24-under 260 total and a seven-shot victory, becoming the first Belgian to win a PGA Tour event.

He put on a dazzling final-round show, playing the last eight holes in a combined 5 under with four consecutive birdies to complete the tournament. He dropped his last putt from almost 10 feet away.

A 32-year-old former University of Illinois golfer, Detry stayed mostly in control. Then he stuck his approach shot about a foot from hole to birdie No. 16 and built his advantage to five strokes.

Detry was in his 68th PGA Tour event, with two previous runner-up finishes.

Michael Kim (67 on Sunday) and Daniel Berger (67) were runners-up at 17 under.

Jordan Spieth (68), who began the round tied for second, couldn't keep up and finished at 16 under, tied for fourth with South Africa's Christiaan Bezuidenhout (66). Spieth had pars on nine consecutive holes before a birdie on No. 17, his fourth of the day along with one bogey.

Justin Thomas (65) finished at 15 under, capped by an eagle with a shot from the fairway on the final hole. Thomas was joined by Will Chandler (66) and Scotland's Robert MacIntyre (67) in sixth.

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler (72) slipped to a tie for 25th at 9 under, playing the last seven holes at 5 over that included a double-bogey on the par-4 finishing hole. Earlier in the round, he had four consecutive birdies and rose to a share of fourth.
