Blades Brown is making his 17th start on the PGA Tour this week at the John Deere Classic.
Brown, 19, is supremely talented and great things are expected of the teenager from Nashville, Tennessee.
The youngster has already played 16 times on the PGA Tour, making 10 cuts along the way, and he will be hoping to contend this week at TPC Deere Run.
Blades Brown is making his first start at the John Deere Classic this week, a tournament where Jordan Spieth won at the age of 19.
He certainly has the ability to match what Spieth did 13 years ago, and it will be very interesting to see how he handles the pressure, if he does indeed have a chance to win at TPC Deere Run on Sunday.
At the American Express in January, Blades Brown equalled a 28-year record by becoming the first player aged 18 or younger to be inside the top five after three rounds of a PGA Tour event since Justin Rose did it at The Open in 1998.
The score Blades Brown shot in the Pro-Am ahead of the John Deere Classic
Brown is clearly in very good form right now ahead of the start of the John Deere Classic.
The 19-year-old played in a nine-hole Pro Am on Wednesday at TPC Deere Run.
And his ball-striking was on another level.
Brown hit five out of seven fairways and seven out of nine greens, and the longest putt he made was from 15 feet.
The teenager made six birdies, one bogey and two pars to card a nine-hole score of five-under-par.
He will be hoping to take that form into the first round of the tournament in Silvis, Illinois, on Thursday morning.
What Scottie Scheffler said about Blades Brown
Back in January, Brown played alongside Scottie Scheffler and Si Woo Kim in the final group at the American Express.
The 19-year-old slipped down the leaderboard and finished in a tie for 18th after posting a final-round 74.
However, Scheffler still took the time to praise Brown after his victory at the American Express.
“Blades, this is my first time seeing him,“ the world number one said.
“But anybody at 18 years old that can make it into the final pairing of a PGA TOUR event’s doing something right.“
To receive praise like that from the best golfer in the world must have been a huge boost of confidence for Blades Brown.
Now the onus is on him to go out and prove just how special he is.
