Detry had a two-shot lead to start the round after a 64 on Friday and kept rolling with four birdies over his first five holes Saturday in ideal conditions at TPC Scottsdale.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Thomas Detry shot a 6-under 65 on Saturday, Feb. 8, to take a five-shot lead into the final round of the Phoenix Open as he chases his first PGA Tour victory.
Jordan Spieth — hunting his first tour win since 2022 — was among four players tied for second. He had a bogey-free 67, scrambling for par on 18 after hitting into bunkers on his drive and again on his second shot. He's gone 45 holes without a bogey.“This is certainly ahead of schedule for this week,” Spieth said.
“It’s all about how you deal with those emotions,” Detry said. “It’s OK to think about it but then try to come back in the present. I think that will be the key for tomorrow.” The 32-year-old Detry, the 2016 Big Ten champion for Illinois, has played well this season, making the cut in all four events. He finished fifth at The Sentry and tied for 15th at the Farmers Insurance Open. The fast start isn’t totally unexpected — he had four top 10s and was second at the Houston Open last year.
