Being in contention had always put Thomas Detry on fast-forward. His heart raced and his mind looked ahead instead of focusing on the moment.

Knowing what was at stake, the Belgian took steps to calm his nerves by meditating and taking an ice bath before each of his final two rounds at raucous TPC Scottsdale.

It paid off with his first PGA Tour victory.

Calm throughout the day, Detry nearly aced the rowdy 16th hole in a stretch of four closing birdies, shooting a 6-under 65 on Sunday to win the Phoenix Open by seven shots.

“Today I paid more attention,” Detry said. “Yesterday morning, I actually felt pretty comfortable and I did the exact same routine, and I actually felt comfortable on the first tee. I really didn’t have any nerves.”

Detry took advantage of the ideal conditions and navigated the noise to enter the final round with a five-shot lead. Top-ranked Scottie Scheffler, Jordan Spieth and Daniel Berger all made charges, but Detry hit it to 16 inches on 16 to seal his first win in 68 PGA Tour starts.

Detry added two more birdies to finish at 24-under 260.

Berger shot 67 and tied for second with Michael Kim (67) at 17 under. Spieth shot 68 to tie for fourth at 16 under in his second tournament since wrist surgery last summer.

LPGA

Yealimi Noh turned a one-shot deficit into a three-shot lead over Jin Young Ko in the span of two holes on the back nine and cruised from there to her first LPGA victory in the Founders Cup at Bradenton, Fla.

The 23-year-old from Northern California closed with a bogey-free, 3-under 68 for a four-day total of 21-under 263 at Bradenton Country Club, four shots better than Ko (71).

Noh made her last bogey of the week on her final hole of Friday’s second round, then surged into the lead Saturday with a 63.

Noh was making her 111th career start, the first start of her sixth season on tour.

LIV Golf League

Adrian Meronk of Poland won LIV Golf’s first tournament under the lights Saturday night, shooting a 1-under 71 to complete a wire-to-wire victory.

Meronk finished at 17-under 199 after opening with rounds of 62 and 66 at Riyadh Golf Club in Saudi Arabia. Jon Rahm and Sebastian Munoz tied for second, two strokes back after rounds of 67.

Rahm’s Legion XIII won the team title.

European tour

Li Haotong of China made a 15-foot birdie putt on the final hole Sunday for a 3-under 69 and a one-stroke victory over Denmark’s Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen in the Qatar Masters.
