Trump takes swipe at Biden during charity golf round with Bryson DeChambeau
Trump and Bryson Dechambeau combined for 22-under
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Former President Donald Trump was able to show off his golf swing in a charity challenge with reigning U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau less than a month after he got into a testy conversation with President Joe Biden about their respective golf handicaps during the first presidential debate.
Trump and Biden sparred over their golf handicaps during the debate hosted by CNN on June 27. The former president raised the issue when discussing his physical fitness, saying he had recently won two "club championships."

"To do that, you have to be quite smart, and you have to be able to hit the ball a long way, and I do it," Trump said. "He doesn’t do it. He can’t hit a ball 50 yards. He challenged me to a golf match — he can’t hit a ball 50 yards."

Biden, challenged by the remark, argued that he had managed to get his handicap down to six when he was vice president.
But Trump, an avid golfer, wasn’t buying it.

The incident was brought up by Trump during his round with the LIV Golf star.

Impressed by Trump’s first shot on the 111 yard, par 3, DeChambeau exclaimed, "Great shot, that’s how you do it right there."
