He carded a 4 under 140 for the tournament and was one of just three players to have a score under par. Brown can join elite company, which includes Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, if he achieves that feat. He beat the other two — Richard Mansell (1 under) and Oliver Farr (1 under) — by a sizeable, three-stroke margin. Now, Brown is hoping he can get to that level earlier than expected. Brown has been a part of the England, Great Britain and Ireland national team for golf since age 12.
