Former Men's Golfer Brett White Wins Michigan Open

ACME, Mich. (MichiganPGA.com) – Former Eastern Michigan University men's golfer Brett White knows all about taking things one step at a time.

It's how he handled therapy in coming back from a life-threatening brain infection three years ago, and it's how he handled going wire-to-wire to win the $115,000 Turtle Creek Casino Michigan Open Championship Thursday at Grand Traverse Resort and Spa.

The 27-year-old mini-tour professional from Caledonia shot a closing 3-under 69 on The Bear course for a 12-under total and a five-shot win in the 103rd edition of the state championship.
