In a jaw-dropping display of talent, eighteen-year-old Blades Brown has set the golfing world ablaze during the second round of The American Express tournament in sunny California. With an astonishing round of sixty, Brown not only broke the course record at the Nicklaus Tournament Course but also etched his name into the history books as the youngest player to achieve such a score on the PGA Tour in over four decades. This remarkable feat has put him neck and neck with the world’s number one golfer, Scottie Scheffler, who has also been in stellar form. Brown began his round with an explosive start, racking up six birdies and an eagle within the first eight holes, leaving spectators in awe of his prowess. As the excitement built, he found himself on the verge of making history with a potential round of fifty-nine, only to narrowly miss a birdie putt at the last hole. With both Brown and Scheffler leading the charge at seventeen under par, the competition remains fierce with a host of other contenders lurking just behind at the halfway mark of the hefty nine point two million dollar tournament. The unique format of The American Express, which spans three different courses, keeps the players on their toes, making every stroke count. Last year, Brown made his professional debut at just seventeen, opting out of college golf to compete against the best in the world. His prior experience on the PGA Tour includes a respectable tie for thirty-fourth in events like the Mexico Open and the Bermuda Championship. On this day, Brown’s sixty was matched only by fellow American Andrew Putnam, who also carded a sixty on the La Quinta course. As the tournament progresses, Australian talent shines through with young golfer Karl Vilips currently positioned at twelve under par, closely followed by seasoned players Adam Scott and Jason Day, both at ten under. Yet, while the narrative of young Blades Brown captivates the audience, the consistent and formidable Scottie Scheffler presents a daunting challenge for anyone daring to claim victory. As the players gear up for the next round, the excitement is palpable, and all eyes will be on these two exceptional talents battling it out for the title.
