Jim Herman Opens With 67, Has An Inauguration To Attend Too

Dave Shedloski does a nice job sharing Jim Herman's incredible backstory with president-elect Donald Trump, including how he was encouraged to keep going for a PGA Tour card.

But after an opening 67 in the SBS Championship at Kapalua, it's Herman's recent golf with Trump and his inauguration plans that are of particular note.

Herman has played several times with the President-elect, including two days before Christmas at Trump International in West Palm Beach, Fla. As is their custom, they play as a team. They took on three other members, and won.

“We had a pretty good win,” Herman said of his game with Trump, who also played a round with Woods last month. “I think he's wanting to go four-on-one one of these days and ditch me, but he wants to have three other people with him. So we'll see what happens. But it's a fun time. He's a competitor and he loves to play the game of golf. He can drive it very well and he can putt it. I mean, I can't believe the putts that he makes when we're playing our game.”
