Golfer credits Trump's advice for winning PGA event

Jim Herman captured the PGA Tour's Barbasol Championship on Sunday, and he said the victory was due in part to valuable advice he received from President Trump when the two used to play together.

Herman was Trump's regular golfing partner when he was employed as an assistant professional at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in New Jersey. The 41-year-old said over the weekend that Trump had urged him to try a different grip on his putter after struggling on the greens.

“He gave me a good talking to and told me to use a different style if it’s not working,” Herman said Saturday after firing a 65 to climb to stay on top of the leaderboard at Keene Trace Golf Club in Nicholasville, Ky. “Some great advice, so I appreciate it.”

Herman hadn't won on the PGA tour in more than three years and was ranked 134th in the world before winning the Barbasol Championship on Sunday.

“I think I need to see him again soon,” Herman said of Trump after winning the tournament by shooting 26-under over four rounds. “He motivates me and puts me in a good spot.”

Trump often plays golf on the weekends at Trump National Golf Club in Potomac Falls, Va.

Is this Trumps' game plan for politics too?

To win shake things up and try something different.
