Brentwood’s Blades Brown Makes Impressive PGA Tour Debut
16-year-old golf sensation from Brentwood Academy, Blades Brown, has turned heads with his stellar performance in his first PGA Tour event. Brown, displaying skills beyond his years, finished the Myrtle Beach Classic with a remarkable 10-under-par 274.
Brown’s debut saw him finish joint-26th at the Dunes Golf and Beach Club in South Carolina, solidifying his presence amongst veterans of the sport. He delivered a calculated 2-under 69 in the final round.
Brown is currently ranked 176th in the World Amateur Golf Rankings, the highest position for any player in his class. He is already a three-time TSSAA golf state champion with the Eagles.
Brilliant Performance in the Myrtle Beach Classic
Brown made the cut on Friday, shooting 3 under in the first two days and peaking with a score of 67. His performance continued to impress on Saturday, when he shot a solid 66 that catapulted him into the top 30.
The final round on Sunday was nothing short of spectacular. Brown missed an eagle on the par-5 hole 4 by a narrow margin but quickly recuperated with a four-foot birdie. On the par-4 10th, Brown nailed a 9-foot putt birdie and kept the momentum going with another birdie on the challenging 611-yard par-5 hole 13. Brown wrapped up his PGA Tour debut with a steady par, narrowly missing a birdie putt on the 18th hole.
Looking Forward for Young Prodigy
