Blades Brown turned a lost weekend into history Sunday in Los Cabos. The 19-year-old erased a seven-shot deficit with a final-round 9-under 63 at the World Wide Technology Championship, then beat Ben James with a birdie on the second playoff hole to claim his first PGA Tour title.
The win makes Brown the youngest PGA Tour champion in roughly nine decades — the Associated Press put it at 95 years, dating to 1931, while ESPN measured it as the youngest since 1938. Either way, the former Brentwood Academy standout now owns one of the most precocious wins in the modern history of the Tour.
The victory comes with the usual spoils: a two-year exemption and a fast-forwarded career arc for a teenager who skipped college golf to turn pro. Elsewhere Sunday, Jon Rahm picked up a win in Abu Dhabi, per AP.
