MCKINNEY, Texas \u2014 Nineteen-year-old Blades Brown earned conditional membership Sunday on the PGA TOUR with a top-20 finish at THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson.<\/p>\n

Brown shot rounds of 66-68-65-67 in his 15th start as a professional, securing a category of status called Special Temporary Membership. That status allows him to accept unlimited sponsor exemptions through the rest of the calendar year, but Brown said he plans to continue to play the Korn Ferry Tour, where he\u2019ll make his next start this week at the UNC Health Championship in Raleigh, North Carolina.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, good golf takes care of everything,\u201d Brown said. \u201cThe Korn Ferry Tour is awesome. For me, what it’s done for me is it’s provided me a pathway to the PGA TOUR.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brown did not do other interviews at THE CJ CUP to remain focused on the tournament, where he marked his fourth top-25 finish this season on TOUR.<\/p>\n

Blades Brown’s 160-yard approach sets up birdie on No. 13 at THE CJ CUP<\/p>\n

After signing his card Sunday, he was all smiles.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe cool thing that I think it’s done is it’s taught me to go low,\u201d he said of his experience so far. \u201cI can’t thank the Korn Ferry Tour enough for teaching me those valuable lessons because everybody out on the PGA TOUR, they can go low. Look at Wyndham (Clark), look at Scottie (Scheffler), look at Si Woo (Kim): 28-under, 27-under is no joke. Without the Korn Ferry Tour, I would not have had that strength.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brown declined to speculate about what specifically he might do with the new status.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m excited for the next couple of weeks and see what’s going to happen,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"12H AGO 1 Min Read Latest *:not(style){overflow:hidden;position:absolute;top:0px;right:0px;bottom:0px;left:0px;display:-webkit-box;display:-webkit-flex;display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex;-webkit-box-pack:center;-ms-flex-pack:center;-webkit-justify-content:center;justify-content:center;-webkit-align-items:center;-webkit-box-align:center;-ms-flex-align:center;align-items:center;width:100%;height:100%;}.css-17ygvlf>img,.css-17ygvlf>video{object-fit:cover;}.css-17ygvlf::before{height:0px;content:””;display:block;padding-bottom:56.25%;}]]> Blades Brown drains 13-foot putt for birdie on No. 14 at…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":692394,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[443],"tags":[49,48,622,82],"class_list":["post-692393","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-golf","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/692393","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=692393"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/692393\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/692394"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=692393"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=692393"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=692393"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
