Teenager Blades Brown Secures Historic PGA Tour Victory in Mexico

Nineteen-year-old Blades Brown made history in Los Cabos, Mexico, overcoming a seven-stroke deficit in the final round to win the World Wide Technology Championship. Playing at El Cardonal at Diamante, Brown carded a 9-under 63 to force a playoff.

Ben James, who held a four-shot lead entering the final round, eagled the 18th hole to shoot a 70 and join Brown in the extra sessions. After matching shots on the first playoff hole, Brown capitalized on the second extra hole by sinking a short birdie putt after James missed an 8-foot attempt.

The triumph makes Brown the youngest PGA Tour winner in decades. The victory also grants him a two-year exemption, a PGA Tour card for 2027, and entry into his first major at the PGA Championship next year.
