The biggest star of the US Women’s Open golf championship held at the Trump National Golf Club on Friday was not a female golfer.
The President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, arrived to his golf club in Bedminster, N.J., just as the number 3 ranked player in the world, Lexi Thompson, who has played with the president in Florida, was set to take a shot.
It had to be tough to not pay attention when the crowd erupted in cheers, screams, and chants of “make America great again” and “Mr. President.”
The women welcomed the president’s presence at the event, he is the first sitting president to attend, because it will increase the attention the event receives.
Lauren Stephenson said, “We had a lot of people yelling and just a lot of movement, but it’s pretty cool to be in the presence of the president".
Fellow golfer Angela Stanford agreed. “I respect the office of the president,” the 39-year-old said. “How many chances are you going to get to play on a president’s golf course during a U.S. Open?”
Brittany Lincicome, who spoke out against the president attending, did not make the cut as play is set to continue on Saturday, which the president said he will attend.
