American teenager Blades Brown claimed a historic victory on the PGA Tour on Sunday, becoming the circuit's youngest champion in 95 years after winning a playoff at the Cabo event in Mexico. The 18-year-old defeated another rising star in a sudden-death finish to secure his first Tour title.
Brown's triumph marks the youngest winner on Tour since 1931, according to Golf Channel's Brentley Romine. The playoff victory in Cabo San Lucas caps a remarkable breakthrough for the young golfer, who turned professional earlier this year.
