Over the weekend, LIV Golf star Bryson DeChambeau out-dueled Rory McIlroy to win the U.S. Open championship. And he earned some high praise from former United States President Donald Trump.
Following the victory on Sunday, Donald Trump took to Truth Social to express his praise for Bryson DeChambeau, calling him “a truly tough competitor.”
“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 has a warm relationship with DeChambeau as he has been seen golfing alongside the LIV Golf superstar on a number of occasions, and it’s clear that the former president has a lot of support for DeChambeau.
