## Key points

- Trump claims double golf win at Bedminster with a suspiciously low score.
- Rival's footage suggests he played to an implausible zero handicap.
- Adds to long-running scepticism over Trump's self-reported golf victories.

## Summary

Donald Trump has claimed victory in both the club and senior championships at his Trump National Golf Club Bedminster course in New Jersey, but new footage has cast fresh doubt on the legitimacy of the win. A fellow competitor, Philip Zamloot, posted a scoreboard clip on Instagram showing that Trump's reported gross score of 70 implied he played to a handicap of zero, a level reached only by elite golfers, fuelling long-standing scepticism about the accuracy of his self-reported golfing achievements.

Trump, 80, carded a two-under-par 70 against a course par of 72, taking his reported tally of golf club victories past 40, including what he described as his 43rd club championship. He shared footage of his winning shot on social media, insisting his success came down to "TALENT" despite limited practice time. The claim echoes a similar disputed scorecard from 2025, when the White House said he won the same tournament by ten gross strokes, and follows years of criticism from figures such as sportswriter Rick Reilly, who has openly questioned the honesty of Trump's golf results.
