The New York Police Department confirmed to Fox News Digital that a detective was suspended without pay after pretending to be a part of President Donald Trump’s security detail to sneak into the Ryder Cup.
According to the New York Post, Det. Melvin Eng attended the biennial tournament at Bethpage Black on Friday, the same day Trump and his granddaughter, aspiring golfer Kai, attended the event.
Trump walked to his seat ahead of the Friday afternoon session, where he was acknowledged by numerous members of both teams. Team USA captain Keegan Bradley even did the vintage Trump dance.
When Bryson DeChambeau was paired with Ben Griffin, he and Trump shook hands and walked to the first tee together. Trump was featured on DeChambeau’s YouTube channel last year.
The Europeans won the event, 15-13, largely in part to dominance on Friday and Saturday. They entered Sunday singles leading 11.5-4.5, but the Americans gave a valiant effort for a miraculous comeback.
It was not enough, though, and Europe became the first team to win a Ryder Cup on the road since they did so in 2012. It was also the first time since Europe won three straight from 2010 to 2014 that a team won back-to-back Ryder Cups.
