TURNBERRY, Scotland — Donald Trump’s show-stealing arrival at the Women’s British Open on Thursday upstaged another strong start to a major by Hyo-Joo Kim.
Kim was midway through compiling a seven-under 65 in the first round when Trump, a Republican presidential candidate, landed in a private helicopter to begin a two-day visit at the tournament at his Turnberry resort in western Scotland.
The on-course action was initially a sideshow for Trump, who seized the attention by inviting the news media to his hotel near the course to continue his presidential campaign. He eventually watched some golf, although the leaderboard was virtually locked in by then.
