i realize the golfing world was focused on the Open Championship but Cincy Golf Alum Jim Herman won the Barbasol Championship today. i believe he's the only Bearcat on tour currently.

Not to get political but Herman credited President Trump for a putting tip he received from him recently. Herman is close with the President from his time as a pro at one of Trump's courses and I think Trump helped him financially to get out on tour.

iirc, Herman was a PGA Pro at a Trump course and Trump fronted him which allowed Herman to pursue, and eventually make the tour. Want to say it was a NY/NJ course but it could have been Doral down in FL.
