Nashville's Blades Brown, 17, missed the cut in his first PGA Tour event as a pro at the American Express tournament. What's next?

Blades Brown, 17, is making his pro debut at this week's 2025 American Express. On Friday, he's showing why he belongs on the game's biggest stage.

After reaching 11-under par with birdies on three of his first five holes Saturday and sitting well inside the cut line, Brown stumbled with three bogeys and a double bogey in his final 13 holes. The double bogey came when he put his tee shot in the water on the infamous par-3 17th with its island green.
