Former United States President Donald Trump is a big sports fan as he has recently been seen at golf tournaments, UFC events, NASCAR races, and college football games. And this week, he offered some high praise for one superstar athlete.
On Sunday, LIV Golf superstar Bryson DeChambeau clinched the U.S. Open championship by out-dueling Rory McIlroy late in the tournament. And after DeChambeau earned the victory, Donald Trump was quick to offer his praise to DeChambeau.
“Congratulations to Bryson DeChambeau on his incredible WIN of the United States Open! He showed a toughness and inner strength, matched perfectly with his GREAT Golfing Talent, that can never be denied! Under massive pressure, he pulled off some of the greatest shots ever made, especially his spectacular sand save on the 18th Hole that gave him the Victory. ‘Mr. 58’ has always been a WINNER, and will go on to many more Major Championships. He is a truly tough competitor, even a nasty one, but he also happens to be a great guy. The U.S.A. could not be better represented,” Trump said in his post on Truth Social.
Trump’s praise for DeChambeau led to a lot of reactions on social media.

Wow, Bry.
A message from the president.
