2025 WM Phoenix Open highlights: Leaderboard, updates from second round at TPC Scottsdale
2025 WM Phoenix Open highlights: Leaderboard, updates from second round at TPC Scottsdale Show Caption Hide Caption Shooter McGavin crashes Justin Thomas interview at WM Phoenix Open Shooter McGavin, aka Christopher McDonald, crashed Justin Thomas' interview at the 2025 WM Phoenix Open. The second round of the 2025 WM Phoenix Open is in the books. There were 13 golfers who didn't complete their second rounds Friday, which was suspended for darkness. Same thing happened on Thursday. This is the 90th playing of the fifth oldest event on the PGA Tour. For the 39th time, the tournament is being played at TPC Scottsdale's Stadium Course in Scottsdale, Arizona. The tournament has gone to a playoff in six of the past nine years. WM Phoenix Open 2025 leaderboard Stay up-to-date with all the scores from TPC Scottsdale. Hotshot amateur Luke Clanton out of Florida State made a late run with birdies on Nos. 15 and 17 but fell a shot short of making the cut and earning a 20th point in the PGA Tour U standings, which would have secured his PGA Tour card. It hadn't happened at the WM Phoenix Open since the final round of 2022 but on Friday, Emiliano Grillo made a hole-in-one on the 16th hole at TPC Scottsdale during the second round of the 2025 WM Phoenix Open. And he did it dunking style, his ball going straight into the cup, and even swirling around the jar. Thomas Detry shoots 66-64 to get to 12 under Detry, who has nine top 10s in 67 starts on the PGA Tour, is still seeking his first victory. After a second-round 64, which included a birdie on the raucous 16th hole, Detry is at 12 under and walked off the course with a two-shot lead. Detry, a 32-year-old from Belgium, said he had perfect yardage with his tee shot on the par 3. "The wind kind of switched a little bit, so instead of being off the right and in, it was slightly down, so it was a perfect wedge for me," he said. "The greens are so firm that you kind of want to come in with full shots, kind of coming from high, full shots with spin. So it was perfect full wedge, and it pitched in a perfect spot, and I think it spun a little bit. Just a kick-in birdie." Six-way tie atop leaderboard at 2025 WM Phoenix Open It's getting crowded in Scottsdale. And we don't mean the fans. There's a six-way tie atop the leaderboard midway through the the second round of the 2025 WM Phoenix Open. In other news: Tiger Woods will tee it up at the Genesis Invitational Woods committed to the Genesis Invitational on Friday. It's one of the three player-hosted signature events on the PGA Tour. It'll be held at Torrey Pines in 2025 due to the destructive fires near the Pacific Palisades part of Los Angeles. The tournament will return to Riviera Country Club in 2026. Rickie Fowler withdrew from the WM Phoenix Open on Friday morning, citing illness. Fowler is a fan favorite everywhere but has a special bond with the Thunderbirds and the tournament, which gave him a sponsor invitation in 2009. -Adam Schupak First-round leader Wyndham Clark has gifts for fans on 16th hole Clark opened his week with a 7-under 64 and held a one-shot lead after 18 holes.
