University of Kentucky golfer Cullan Brown passed away Tuesday after a battle with cancer.
Brown was a member of the Kentucky men’s golf team and one of the best golfers in the state of Kentucky. He was named to the All-SEC Freshman Team during his first season with the Wildcats in 2018-19.
Before his sophomore season, Brown was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a form of bone cancer, in his left thigh.
During his battle with cancer, University of Kentucky athletics teams showed their support for Brown, including the men’s basketball team. The team shared a message on social media last season, encouraging Brown to keep fighting.
