Former Brentwood Academy golf star Blades Brown, 17, is making his pro golf debut this week at the PGA Tour American Express Tournament

Three golf courses, a full field of competitors and a whole lot of birdies will be on display this week in Palm Springs

While younger players and amateurs have been playing strong golf on the PGA Tour in recent years – Dunlap was 20 and a sophomore at the University of Alabama when he won last year – Brown is the youngest golfer to ever play in The American Express. But his swing coach believes Brown has a game that can hold up to the PGA Tour.
