"Blades Brown looked well beyond his 18 years under increasing attention Saturday. He finished with three straight birdies that left him tied with world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, both of them one shot behind Si Woo Kim going into the final round of The American Express. Kim had a 6-under 66 and the advantage of playing La Quinta Country Club as the wind finally arrived in the Coachella Valley."
"That didn't stop him from playing "paper, scissors, rock" with a young fan and then holing a 25-foot birdie putt on the par-3 17th, and then following with a 45-foot birdie on the 18th. Scheffler caught the worst of the wind -- the fan turned on when he was on the second hole -- and had two bogeys, which can be a lot for him."
Blades Brown, 18, closed with three straight birdies to tie Scottie Scheffler and sit one shot behind Si Woo Kim heading into the final round of The American Express. Si Woo Kim shot a 6-under 66 and led at 22-under 194 after playing La Quinta Country Club as winds arrived. Scheffler and Brown each shot 68 on the Stadium Course at PGA West. Brown arrived after a Korn Ferry Tour event, played his seventh consecutive round, engaged with a young fan and holed long birdie putts on 17 and 18. Scheffler battled wind, made two bogeys but saved par with a long putt. Historical age records were noted as context for Brown's potential achievement.
