Blades Brown, 19, Wins World Wide Technology Championship in Playoff After Final-Round 63
Blades Brown, 19, won the World Wide Technology Championship on Sunday, November 8, at El Cardonal in Los Cabos, Mexico. Brown closed with a 63 to finish at 23-under 265, tying Ben James, then beat James on the second playoff hole for his first PGA Tour title and the $1.08 million winner's share of the $6 million purse.
James led by four shots after 54 holes and shot 70 on Sunday. Brown began the final round seven shots back, in a tie for ninth, and forced the playoff by reaching the final green in two and making an eagle putt from 20 feet. James earned $654,000 as runner-up, per Golf Channel's payout report.
Brown, recently the youngest-ever Korn Ferry Tour graduate, was reported as the youngest PGA Tour winner since 1931. The win secures his status through 2028 and a PGA Championship place. Seventy-five of 120 players finished, with the cut at 5 under.
