Byron Lindeque strongly recommended Thomas Detry at +800 as top debutant at the Masters, highlighting Detry's ability to finally close out events demonstrated by winning the Waste Management Phoenix Open earlier. Lindeque emphasized Detry's solid major track record, including making cuts consistently the last few years and a notable fourth-place finish at the PGA Championship last year. He praised Detry for apparent newfound confidence and maturity in big events, believing Augusta suits his improving mental game and providing significant betting value in the debutant market.

Steve Bamford outlined Thomas Detry as a debutant playing his first Masters, expressing clear concern due to Detry's lack of previous experience and contention at major championships. Bamford emphasized historical trends demonstrating players usually require multiple Masters appearances and prior major contention before legitimately competing at Augusta. As a first-time entrant with no significant major finishes, Detry lacks these critical experiences, causing Bamford to firmly advise against DFS or outright betting interests in Detry for this year's Masters.

Pat Perry voiced strong DFS interest in first-timer Thomas Detry at Augusta, comparing him to last year's notable first-timer Nikolai Hojgaard who finished T16. Perry drew attention to Detry’s earlier season victory at Waste Management, indicating legit upside and potential to similarly surprise DFS managers at a low salary. Although his missed cuts at API and Players raised minor caution, Perry still sees Detry's recent T22 at Valspar demonstrating promising enough form to risk the Augusta debutant.

Pat Mayo pinpointed Thomas Detry as a sneaky Masters option, noting Detry's surprising recent run of three consecutive top-20 finishes in major championships. Mayo praised Detry's strengths as an exceptional driver and putter, stressing the potential for that specific skill set (driver and putter combination) to create numerous birdie opportunities at Augusta National. Although Mayo admits having lost money backing Detry previously, he maintains strong conviction in Detry's upside and ability to quietly outperform expectations again at Augusta.

Pat Mayo strongly recommended Thomas Detry for Underdog majors-only fantasy drafts, noting Detry's impressive recent major performances. Despite concerns that he'll be a debutant at Augusta—a scenario that historically doesn't fare well—Detry provides substantial upside. Detry has top-15 finishes in each of his last three majors, including a T-14 at the previous year's U.S. Open, a top-10 at the PGA Championship, and a T-13 at the Open Championship two years ago. Although he's only currently set for two majors (the Masters and PGA Championship), Mayo underscored Detry's scoring potential and consistent high finishes at major events, stating that makes him a valuable mid-to-late-round fantasy selection.

Pat Mayo highlighted Thomas Detry as a particularly appealing DFS pivot option for the 2025 Houston Open. Mayo pointed out that Detry finished second at this event last year and is entering coming off a solid week (22nd place), yet his ownership will remain notably low, projected around 5-6%. Mayo emphasized Detry's upside relative to the field, despite acknowledging that he doesn't always flash consistently elite skills. He compared Detry's boom-or-bust profile to Min Woo Lee, noting Detry has the added credibility of a PGA Tour victory. Mayo sees Detry as an ideal differentiated play for DFS lineups at an attractive ownership discount.

Byron Lindeque highlighted Thomas Detry as a strong round two DFS showdown target at the Houston Open due to a clear trend of second-round performance spikes. Lindeque observed that Detry consistently starts slow, then significantly improves in round two, where the bulk of his strong scores and strokes-gained spikes historically occur. While skeptical of Detry’s full-tournament and DFS potential due to recent poor results—missed cuts at The Players and Arnold Palmer Invitational and a 53rd finish at the Genesis—Lindeque explicitly recommended targeting his history of elevated round two performances in DFS showdown formats rather than full-week contests.

Cameron DaSilva recommended backing Thomas Detry at +5000 odds for the 2025 Texas Children's Houston Open, emphasizing Detry's strong recent performances. Detry posted a tied-for-second finish last year at Memorial Park behind Stephan Jaeger. DaSilva noted Detry already won earlier this season at the WM Phoenix Open by a large margin and arrives this week in stable form after a T-22 at the recent Valspar Championship. Given Detry's proven success at Memorial Park, DaSilva positioned him as an appealing value option.

Matthew MacKay highlighted Thomas Detry as an exceptional DFS value this week at the Texas Children's Houston Open, due to his proven performance at Memorial Park Golf Course and recent form. Detry won earlier this season at the WM Phoenix Open and finished T2 at the 2024 Houston Open, demonstrating comfort and success at this venue. His great length and driving accuracy off-the-tee are critical advantages at the Memorial Park layout, making his $8,600 DraftKings salary particularly appealing. MacKay strongly advised fitting Detry into DFS lineups for this event.

Cam DaSilva likes Thomas Detry as a compelling longshot at +5000 odds for the Houston Open. Detry's second-place finish in last year's tournament debut at Memorial Park demonstrates comfortability with this course. Additionally, Detry arrives with added confidence, already earning a dominant victory at this season's WM Phoenix Open and coming off a respectable T-22 finish at the Valspar Championship. This combination of recent form and proven tournament record makes Detry a highly attractive value for bettors seeking deeper odds.

Brady Kannon likes Thomas Detry's chances due to his proven ability on demanding golf courses. Detry previously finished runner-up at Memorial Park and recently won at Phoenix. He showcased his talent for tough, big-boy tracks by recording a 14th-place finish on Pinehurst No. 2 in the U.S. Open, alongside strong play at Torrey Pines. Detry is a talented putter, crucial for large, undulating greens at Memorial Park. Additionally, after struggling at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and the Players Championship, Detry rebounded well with a solid 22nd-place performance at the Valspar Championship, setting him up nicely for a run this week.

Matthew Wiley signaled strong DFS and betting value on Thomas Detry at the Houston Open, highlighting Detry's impressive tee-to-green performance at Valspar last week despite performing poorly with his putter. With Detry showcasing excellent iron play and approach metrics, Wiley sees potential for positive putting regression, believing he's unlikely to repeat the poor putting performance. This makes Detry an intriguing and actionable option for fantasy lineups and betting markets going into the Houston tournament.

Will Gray points to Thomas Detry as a valuable betting option at +5500 odds, highlighting that Detry is currently flying under the radar despite recent success. Detry was a runner-up at the Texas Children's Houston Open last year and has recently secured a PGA TOUR victory. His improved form, paired with above-average putting and solid driving, positions him favorably this week.

Matt Gannon considers Thomas Detry an intriguing outright bet around 55-1 due to his ideal driver-putter fit at Memorial Park. Detry recently earned his first win under intense pressure, proving he can handle tough situations. Though recognizing it's challenging for a recent winner to follow up again so soon, Gannon likes Detry for his dual strengths off-the-tee and strong putting ability—especially valuable at a forgiving venue like Memorial Park. He noted Detry's successful finish at this course last year, further supporting the bet's validity should his odds drift slightly higher.

Geoff Fienberg suggested betting Thomas Detry around 50-to-60 to 1 odds at the Houston Open, reasoning that Detry’s recent T-22 finish last week indicated positive momentum. Fienberg highlighted Detry's suitability to Memorial Park's course style, particularly focusing on his strength in longer iron shots that are crucial at this venue. Although Detry struggled slightly off the tee last week, the overall course-fit aligns strongly with his playing style, prompting Fienberg to endorse Detry as worth considering this week.

Sia Nejad views Thomas Detry as a prime DFS target, expecting his ownership to be depressed following a brief post-win slump. Detry recently earned his maiden victory at the WM Phoenix Open, after which he predictably had a couple of subpar outings. But he began rounding back into form with a T22 at the Valspar Championship, showing significantly improved metrics. Entering a weaker field at Memorial Park and equipped with renewed confidence from the breakout win, Nejad strongly believes Detry is positioned for an impressive performance at attractive ownership levels.
