At Bedminster, Trump the elephant in the room

BEDMINSTER, N.J. – President Donald Trump’s shadow engulfs this week’s U.S. Women’s Open.

The big question going to Trump National isn’t whether Danielle Kang can win back-to-back major championships, or if Brittany Lang will successfully defend her title, or whether So Yeon Ryu or Lexi Thompson is the player to beat.

It’s whether President Trump will actually show up.

While Trump didn’t attend the Senior PGA Championship at Trump National in Potomac Falls, Va., this spring, he did show up for the Ricoh Women’s British Open at Trump Turnberry while running for president two years ago.
