Thomas Detry is one of 10 players to finish the opening round of the 2025 United States Open with an under-par score.
The 2015 Big Ten Conference Player of the Year, who was a two-time All-America selection at Illinois and is currently ranked No. 35 in the world, posted a 1-under-par 69. Detry, who hit 14 of 18 greens in regulation, opened with a bogey-free, front-nine 32 and survived the back-nine despite bogeys on No. 10 and No. 18.
