Close Competitors

Michael Kim and Alex Smalley are hot on Detry's heels, both tied for second place at 10 under par. Kim's impressive 63 in the second round has put him in a strong position to challenge for the title.

Detry's Confidence

"I've been very comfortable on the greens this week," Detry commented. "I did some excellent work with my coach, and the greens are in fantastic condition. I've also been hitting a lot of fairways, which has been crucial."

Other Notable Performances

Jordan Spieth is three shots behind Detry after shooting a 65, while Scottie Scheffler is five back following a 66. Overnight leader Wyndham Clark slipped down the leaderboard after a 73, now tied with Scotland's Robert MacIntyre at five under.

Grillo's Moment of Glory

Argentina's Emiliano Grillo provided one of the day's most memorable moments with a hole-in-one at the famous 16th hole during his round of 69. "You always dream of making a hole-in-one there," Grillo said. "It was loud... very loud. There were a lot of emotions."

Looking Ahead

With Detry in the lead and several top players close behind, the final rounds of the Phoenix Open promise to deliver thrilling golf action. Fans will be eagerly watching to see if Detry can maintain his lead and secure his first PGA Tour victory.
