Blades Brown makes a historic arrival, Bryson DeChambeau tosses up a word salad, and Jon Rahm’s statement win
Blades Brown won the Worldwide Technology Championship in Mexico, becoming the youngest PGA Tour winner in 95 years. Jon Rahm also claimed a significant victory in Abu Dhabi on his first start since announcing his departure from LIV Golf, while Bryson DeChambeau issued a lengthy statement about LIV’s future.
Brown, born in 2007, came from seven shots behind with a final-round 63 and beat Ben James in a two-hole play-off. James forced the play-off with an eagle on the 72nd hole, then missed a short birdie putt on the second extra hole; Brown made his five-footer to win. His victory brings a two-year PGA Tour exemption and places at the 2027 PGA Championship and Players Championship. Rahm held off Rory McIlroy and Tyrrell Hatton, securing his first non-LIV win since the 2023 Masters.
