Blades Brown has become the youngest PGA Tour winner since 1931 after the 19-year-old came back from a deficit of seven shots with a nine-under 63 to defeat Ben James in the World Wide Technology Championship.

At 19 years and 171 days old, Brown became the youngest victor since Charles Kocsis won the Michigan Open in 1931 when he was 18, a tournament that was considered a regional event in the early years of the PGA.

James lost a four-shot lead going into the final round at El Cardonal at Diamante and then showed his nerve by smoking a 285-yard shot into 20 feet on the par-five 18th and making eagle to salvage a 70 and force the play-off.

But he missed an eight-foot putt on the second play-off hole as Brown made his three-footer.
