Nashville's own Blades Brown turned in a career-best performance in a PGA Tour appearance last weekend when he finished in the top 20 of The American Express 2026.
Brown, 18, set a course record during one round of the tournament and entered the final day of competition tied for second place.
What he's saying: "That's what you practice for," Brown told reporters at a high point in the tournament. "That's what late nights that you're going out to putt and pretending that you have a putt to win the Masters, that right there is what it's all about."
