Cameron Young praised Donald Trump after he won the Cadillac Championship at Trump National Doral in Miami, angering some of the president’s critics. (Watch the video below.)
But just what Young meant is getting the once-over by fans of all stripes on social media.
The winner got applause, a thumbs-up and later a handshake from the president after his six-stroke victory.
He summed up his feelings to the press.
“He’s nothing if not a very, very interesting man,” Young said in a clip that’s gone viral. “He’s very powerful, and it’s an honor to get to play in front of him. Hugely grateful to him and his family and his organization that has these beautiful properties and allows us to come and play great golf tournaments on them. This is a special place and great championship golf course, and I’m thankful to have it back in the schedule.”
