SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Six years after his brain swelled from viral encephalitis, Brett White is set to make his PGA Tour debut at the WM Phoenix Open at TPC Scottsdale. It’s something he’s dreamed of ever since he took up the game at age 8.
“I’ll probably get up in the morning and go, ‘Holy crap,’ and then walk to the first tee and maybe a little nerves but after that, it’s just golf,” said White, who tees off at 5:15 p.m. ET Thursday due to a frost delay. “Until you get to 16. I don’t think you can ever prepare for 16.”
