Q. Blades, a stunner to force a playoff with you on 18. How did you lock back in and steady your nerves to win a PGA Tour title?

BLADES BROWN: Playoff holes are just, they're incredible. It tests you in so many different ways. I saw Ben miss that putt on 17 and now all of a sudden I have a two‑shot lead, and making eagle on this final hole is no easy task.

Then I was hitting balls and I saw he made it. I was like, all right, playoff, let's go.

I've known Ben since we were amateur golfers and he's just such a great player. He's lights out with the putter. I got him this time but I'm sure we're going to be battling it out for years to come.

Q. You're the youngest winner on the PGA Tour since 1931. What does it mean to you to be a part of PGA Tour history?

BLADES BROWN: It's crazy. I mean, I just think back to all the people that are in my life; my parents, my mom, my dad, my sister Millie, my coach Justin Parsons, Callaway, FloQast. There's so many people that believe in me, and to finally get my first one under my belt, it's pretty special.

Q. You have such a unique journey, bypassing college, juggling two tours this season. How satisfying is it for you to forge your own path and win on the PGA Tour?

BLADES BROWN: I mean, I'm just so obsessed with this game. It tests you in so many different ways, and I think it's a big metaphor for life. Sometimes you hit it just how you want to and you get that break, and then sometimes you don't hit it very well and it goes to two feet. So you've just got to play it wherever it lies.

I love golf, I love all the stuff that goes into it, and I can't wait for what's next.
