Teenager Blades Brown wins in Mexico to become youngest PGA Tour winner in 95 years
Los Cabos, Mexico (AP) — At the age of 19, Blades Brown made history by becoming the youngest PGA Tour winner in 95 years. The teenager overcame a seven-stroke deficit and secured victory over Ben James in the World Wide Technology Championship. Brown's remarkable comeback included a 9-under 63 score and a birdie on the second playoff hole.
James, the No. 1 player in the PGA Tour University ranking, lost a four-shot lead before the final round at El Cardonal at Diamante. The win marks Brown's second professional victory and puts him on track for a major championship next year.
