Thomas Detry Claims First PGA Tour Victory at 2025 WM Phoenix Open
Belgium’s Thomas Detry secured his first PGA Tour victory in dominant fashion at the 2025 WM Phoenix Open, becoming the first Belgian to win on the PGA Tour. Detry, who entered the final round with a five-shot lead, finished seven strokes ahead of Michael Kim and Daniel Berger at TPC Scottsdale. His final-round performance included four birdies on the back nine, including a clutch tee shot on the iconic par-3 16th, which he nearly aced, leaving himself a tap-in for birdie.
Detry, 32, had previously finished as a runner-up twice in 65 PGA Tour events. His victory marks the 14th time a player has made the Phoenix Open their first PGA Tour win. Detry’s consistent play throughout the tournament, including a third-round 65 that extended his lead to five shots, proved insurmountable for the field.
Jordan Spieth, who was seeking his first win since 2022, finished tied for second at 13 under alongside Daniel Berger, Rasmus Højgaard, and Michael Kim. Spieth, known for his dramatic comebacks, couldn’t close the gap despite a bogey-free third round. Meanwhile, world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, a two-time Phoenix Open champion, made a late charge but ultimately finished 10 under, eight shots behind Detry.
Detry’s win solidifies his place in PGA Tour history and marks a career-defining moment for the Belgian golfer. His composure under pressure and ability to maintain a commanding lead throughout the tournament showcased his readiness to compete at the highest level.
