Blades Brown became the youngest winner on the PGA Tour in 95 years after a dramatic comeback at the World Wide Technology Championship. The 19‑year‑old turned a seven‑shot deficit into a victory, shooting a nine‑under 63 in the final round to defeat Ben James.
Brown’s final‑round score of 63 was the lowest of the day, propelling him past James, who finished one shot behind. The win marks a historic moment for the tour, as no player younger than Brown has claimed a title since 1931.
The tournament, held at the TPC of the West, saw Brown’s performance stand out as he closed the gap with a series of birdies and a decisive final round that saw him finish with a total score of 270 (−18).
Ben James, who had led the field earlier in the week, was unable to hold on to his advantage. Brown’s victory is expected to boost his ranking and position him as a rising star on the professional circuit.
