‘Where is he?’ – Donald Trump pauses election speech to call ‘shy’ golf star up to stage
DONALD TRUMP stopped his US election victory speech to bring golf star Bryson DeChambeau on stage to celebrate his election triumph.

He addressed fans in Florida flanked by UFC president Dana White – who took to the microphone to endorse his billionaire friend.
Two-time US Open champion DeChambeau, 31, was initially not in shot on the stage.
This led to Trump saying: “We have up here today the US Open champion Bryson DeChambeau, fantastic.
“Obviously he hits the ball slightly longer than me! Just a little bit.
“Bryson DeChambeau is up here.”
Trump then looked around and realised the American golfer was nowhere to be seen.
The president-elect added: “Where is he? What happened to Bryson? Bryson! He’s hitting balls?”

Before Trump said: “He’s on the way? Bryson. Oh, look at him. He’s got a great career going. Great US Open, Bryson.”
DeChambeau wore a black “Make America Great Again” hat for the election celebration.
After playing a round of golf with Trump earlier this year, the two-time major winner said: “It was an honour.
“I mean, anytime you get to play with a president, whether passed or sitting, it’s just an honour, no matter who it is. Very lucky to have a relationship with him, and he’s always been generous to me.
“I am extremely honoured to represent Trump Golf and have the relationship with the Trump Organisation that I have.”
