SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Thomas Detry had the perfect number on the wildest hole in golf.
The Belgian's towering pitching wedge landed near the hole and spun back to tap-in range, setting off a roar at TPC Scottsdale's stadium 16th hole.
Emiliano Grillo got the only ace on the party barge of a par 3, but Detry has the Phoenix Open lead after nearly matching him.
Detry birdied the par-3 16th hole and shot a 7-under 64 in the second round to take a two-shot lead in the Phoenix Open on Friday.
"It was perfect full wedge and it pitched in a perfect spot, and I think it spun a little bit," Detry said. "Just a kick-in birdie."
