Thomas Detry made a single bogey and seven birdies, including four consecutively from the 15th to close with a 65, reach 24-under and win the WM Phoenix Open by seven shots.<\/p>\n

“Incredible. Incredible. I felt nervous yesterday morning, and last night didn’t sleep great. I woke up this morning early, 4:00 a.m., couldn’t fall back asleep,” said Detry.<\/p>\n

“But then deep inside of me, I kind of really trusted myself. I felt like I’ve been doing a lot of really good things in the past to put myself in that position, and I felt like I was kind of ready to win. So deep inside, I was kind of — yeah, this one nobody was going to take it away from me.<\/p>\n

“I hit the green in two on 13, which in my mind I thought was kind of a key, and I kind of maybe mentally relaxed a little bit too much there and didn’t pay enough attention on that putt, three-putted 13. Daniel Berger just birdied 12 and 13 and suddenly I was like, okay, I need to be careful here.<\/p>\n

“Then I think what really turned it around was my up-and-down on 14 and that driver on 15, because 15 was playing downwind, so I knew that if I could commit to that drive and hit a proper drive, it was only an 8- or 7-iron into that par-5, which was big, and I was able to birdie that hole, and then after that obviously 16 — I was just trying to hit it to the middle of the green pretty much.<\/p>\n

“I think the adrenaline kind of took over a little bit. I didn’t realize it was that close. I thought it was probably just a couple of feet away or maybe 10, 15 feet away or maybe just past it, just short, and when I got there, I was like, okay, this is looking good now.”<\/p>\n
