He’s 80 and drives it about 180 yards now. No one like that can win a senior club championship in any universe.”However, McConnell recognised that Trump could have won the super-senior championship if it were restricted to over-80s.“80 is old,” he continued. “A good super senior can hit it at 70, 220 or more. Unless Trump has some 80-and-over division, he might win that.”Trump’s game has long been a hot topic in the golf community, and that will not change anytime soon.Read more:PGA Tour encouraged to bring in new rule after Michael Thorbjornsen’s Rocket Classic winWatch US President Donald Trump hit stunning golf shot as he wins 43rd club championshipMichael Thorbjornsen issues his verdict on the Rocket Classic being removed from the PGA Tour schedule after this season
