Martha Burk isn’t the only who would like to see the 2017 U.S. Women’s Open moved from Trump National Bedminster in New Jersey. New York University historian Dr. Jeffrey Sammons and two other prominent black golfers with ties to the U.S. Golf Association have written letters to its executive director, Mike Davis, renouncing their relationship with golf’s governing body for the U.S. and Mexico.
Burk made her case in a blog for The Huffington Post on Friday, which coincides with Round 2 of this year’s Women’s Open at CordeValle, citing opposition to business magnate Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee for president.
