Aberdeen, Scotland – Grant Forest won his second DP World Tour title on Sunday at the NEXO Championship at Trump International Golf Link, winning more than just a trophy.
Forest received a video call from course owner President Donald Trump.
Trump called from his course northwest of Washington, DC, where he was ready to play.

“I have very good players, but they’re different from you, Grant,” Trump said over the phone. The tour in Europe was posted on social media sites. “We all saw you play. It’s a golf round. The course is big, strong and tough. Your swing is great. And it’s a great honor you’ve won.”
Forest, 32, from Scotland, closed Joe Dean with a uniform 72 for a four-shot victory. His other European tour titles were Scotland four years ago.
Aberdeen’s coastal Trump course held tournaments and the tournament after the PGA Championship on the European Legend Tour, won by Oklahoma’s Bo Van Pelt.
