Blades Brown has made the cut at the 2026 American Express and is set to play his eighth consecutive day of professional golf on Sunday. The 18-year-old’s successful final three holes helped vault him up the leaderboard and left him in contention to be the second-youngest winner in PGA Tour history.
With coach Justin Parson on “Happy Hour with Smylie presented by Michelob Ultra,” Blades Brown made a beautiful birdie on the 17th hole. He also took time to play rock, paper, scissors with a fan.
Ludvig Åberg entered Saturday’s third round of The American Express at 9 under, just above the projected cut line. But about a half hour before his tee time at PGA West’s Stadium Course, Åberg became the latest player to withdraw with illness.
