Blades Brown, 19, has become the youngest PGA Tour winner since 1931 after the teenager erased a seven‑shot deficit with a nine‑under 63 to defeat Ben James in the World Wide Technology Championship. At 19 years and 171 days old, Brown matches Charles Kocsis’s 1931 Michigan Open record, the only previous teenager to capture a PGA Tour event. He eagled the par‑five 18th for a 70 to force a playoff, then sank a three‑footer while James missed an 8‑foot putt.
Brown, who turned pro at 17 and earned his Tour card via Korn Ferry points, posted a 23‑under 265 total, one shot ahead of Michael Kim. The victory grants him a two‑year exemption, entry to the elite 2028 Championship Series, and secures his first major at next year’s PGA Championship.
The next stop is the Austin Championship in Austin, Texas, set for the stunning Omni Barton Creek Fazio Canyons Golf Course. Fans can watch all four rounds live on Sky Sports Golf and Sky Sports Main Event, with coverage beginning at 7 pm.
