Brown, who battled osteosarcoma, a form of bone cancer in his left thigh, died on Aug. 4, 2020. He was 20.
A native of Eddyville, Brown was an All-Southeastern Conference Freshman Team selection in 2019 after producing a 72.42 stroke average over eight events. He made seven starts for the Wildcats, including the SEC Championship and the NCAA Athens Regional.
Brown garnered four top-20 finishes. He tied for fifth at the Mason Rudolph Championship with the help of an opening round of 64, which tied for the lowest 18-hole score in the Brian Craig era. His 54-hole total of 206 tied for the best mark of the season.
In his first career postseason event, he tied for ninth at the SEC Championship during stroke play. He fired rounds of 67-69-72 to help lead UK to a third-place showing and advance to the semifinals of match play for the first time in program history. He registered 10 par-or-better rounds throughout his freshman season.
Appearing in his first-ever PGA event, Brown provided the Big Blue Nation with quite a show in 2019, shooting 10-under par for the tournament and logging par-or-better scores during all four rounds at the Barbasol Championship held at the local Keene Trace Golf Club in Nicholasville, Kentucky.
Brown logged rounds of 72-68-67-71 and tied for 53rd. On moving day, Brown posted his best round of the tournament, which featured seven total birdies. That included a stretch where he birdied five consecutive holes beginning at the par-four fourth. His dad, Rodney, served as his caddy for his final two rounds.
He was awarded the Male Rookie of the Year award at the 2020 virtual CATSPY awards presented by UK Athletics.
In addition to his prowess on the course, Brown was an exceptional cook and enjoyed preparing meals for his teammates on road trips and for his community of Eddyville.
Prior to playing suiting up for the Wildcats, Brown was the first state champion at Lyon County High School in 2016 en route to being named the state's player of the year.
