Numbers of the week: Blades Brown wins at 19, and Wake Forest hangs 77 on Merrimack

Every Monday, Beat Chuck picks the five numbers from the weekend that are hardest to believe. Each one is checked against two sources. This week's list runs from a teenager in Mexico to a school record in Winston-Salem.

1. 19 years, 171 days

That was Blades Brown's age when he won the World Wide Technology Championship in Los Cabos on Sunday. ESPN and the Associated Press report it makes him the youngest PGA Tour winner since Bobby Dunkelberger won the St. Augustine Pro-Amateur at 18 in 1938. Jordan Spieth was 19 years and 352 days old when he won the 2013 John Deere Classic.

Brown started the final round seven shots back, shot a 9-under 63 and beat Ben James with a birdie on the second playoff hole. The win also gets him into next year's PGA Championship, his first major.

2. 16

Stephen Curry scored 41 points in Golden State's 126-119 overtime win over Orlando on Saturday, including 17 in the final seven minutes. It was his 16th 40-point game since his 35th birthday. That passes LeBron James (15) and Michael Jordan (12) for the most in NBA history, according to ESPN and the Warriors. The win was Golden State's seventh straight.

3. 53

Luka Doncic scored 53 in the Lakers' 124-118 NBA Cup win over Portland on Friday, his 11th career 50-point game. The ESPN recap notes it was his seventh straight game with at least 35 points, five assists, five rebounds and five 3-pointers. Doncic sat Sunday at Detroit with lower back tightness, and Austin Reaves scored 43 in a 121-116 win. The Lakers have won five in a row.

4. 77-0

Wake Forest beat FCS Merrimack 77-0 on Saturday and scored 11 touchdowns, breaking the school scoring record. Backup quarterback Steele Pizzella, filling in for the injured Gio Lopez, threw for 432 yards and three touchdowns in the first half alone. The Demon Deacons led 49-0 at halftime and finished with 546 passing yards, another school record.

5. 39

Sarah Strong scored a career-high 39 points as No. 2 UConn beat No. 10 Iowa 91-79 on Sunday in Storrs. She had 26 of them in the first half, including a buzzer-beating 3 that put the Huskies up 52-37 at the break. UConn's official account had her at 15 of 26 from the field with 10 rebounds. It was UConn's first game back after its 39-game regular-season win streak ended at Michigan.

Next week: Buffalo and Minnesota, both 6-1, play on Monday Night Football tonight, so the next list starts with whatever happens in Minneapolis.
