Nineteen-year-old Blades Brown of Nashville, Tennessee, shot a third-round 6-under 65 at THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson at TPC Craig Ranch, moving into a share of 13th place at 14 under par. Brown entered the tournament needing a solo 21st-place finish or better in his 16th career PGA TOUR start to earn Special Temporary Membership, and his rounds of 66-68-65 put him in a strong position heading into the final round. The young amateur also recorded a tie for ninth at the ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic and a third-place finish at the Puerto Rico Open earlier this season.
