Former President Donald Trump, fresh from a contentious conversation with President Joe Biden about their golf handicaps during the first presidential debate, showcased his skills on the green in a charity challenge with reigning U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau.
During the CNN-hosted debate on June 27, Trump boasted about winning two "club championships," prompting Biden to challenge him to a golf match. However, Trump dismissed Biden's claim of a six handicap, labeling it the "biggest lie" of all.

Undeterred, Trump and DeChambeau took to the links at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in New Jersey for a round that raised $220,000 for the Wounded Warrior Project. Combining for an impressive 22-under, the duo pledged a donation of $10,000 for each stroke under par.
Trump's golf swing impressed DeChambeau, who praised it as a "great shot" after Trump teed off on the 111-yard, par-3 second hole. Their camaraderie extended beyond the golf course, with DeChambeau expressing his gratitude for the opportunity to play with Trump and support a worthy cause.
