BEDMINSTER, N.J. – They say you can’t play defense in golf.
You should have been in the U.S. Women’s Open media center Tuesday at Trump National.
A Jujutsu grand master would have been proud.
One player after another deftly blocked, deflected or dodged questions about President Donald Trump.
USGA executive director Mike Davis, however, didn’t bother playing defense. He didn’t bother playing at all. He didn’t show up. Remarkably, he wasn’t there for the organization’s annual U.S. Women’s Open news conference.
Yes, Davis doesn’t always make an appearance at this annual women’s news conference, which is troubling enough in itself, but his absence Tuesday was especially glaring.
