"16-Year-Old Blades Brown Makes History at U.S. Amateur, Shares Medalist Honors"
Blades Brown, the 16-year-old son of WNBA player Rhonda Blades Brown, made history at the U.S. Amateur by shooting a course-record, 8-under 64, earning co-medalist honors. After a slow start, Brown heated up with a hole-out eagle and finished with an eagle-birdie-birdie run. He shares the top spot with two other players. Brown, ranked No. 6 in the AJGA rankings, is the youngest U.S. Amateur medalist/co-medalist ever and will face Benton Weinberg in the next round.
