"Team Trump on Tour" — the name emblazoned on the big red bus making its way across the area — made a Tues- day afternoon stop at AJ's on the Bayou with Kimberly Guilfoyle, former Fox News host and current girlfriend of Donald Trump Jr., on board. Also on the bus were Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz, a staunch Trump supporter who represents Northwest Florida in Congress; former acting U.S. Attorney General Matt Whitaker, a Trump ap- pointee, and political activist Matt Schlapp, chairman of the American Conservative Union. The tour stop in Fort Walton Beach, part of a Gainesville-to-Pensacola road trip that wraps up Wednesday in Pensa- cola, attracted about 300 diehard Trump supporters.

  • Kaymer Stretches US Open Lead to 6 Shots
    SPORTS SATURDAY, JUNE 14, 2014 From childhood, golf was focus for Lucy Li SAN FRANCISCO: Jim McLean has coached child prodigies at his golf schools around the world for decades, so he thought he had seen just about every kind of young hopeful out there. Then came Lucy Li. The 11-year-old from the suburbs south of San Francisco became the youngest player to qualify for the US Women’s Open by winning the sectional at Half Moon Bay in California by seven strokes last month. Her journey to Pinehurst No 2 in North Carolina, where the tournament begins Thursday, is the quickest and most unique of anybody in the field. A sixth grader with braces and a sharp short game, Li’s fam- ily came to California from Hong Kong and she has been train- ing at McLean’s golf school in Miami since she was 7. As he has with many young golfers when they arrive, McLean gave her the Dr Seuss book, “Oh, The Places You’ll Go!” Li not only read the book. She memorized it. “She’s incredibly smart,” McLean said. “And an incredibly fast learner.” That much is clear. Little else about Li’s life is. Her family has declined interview requests, only issuing a statement through the USGA that she is honored to play in the prestigious tournament. Those who have watched Li’s rapid rise tell a story of a girl who skips down fairways and brings candy bars to club mem- bers, a focused competitor with a powerful swing and polished putting, and a youngster whose family has dedicated time and money to grow her game.
