DORAL — Donald Trump arrived at the Cadillac Championship about 30 minutes after the leaders teed off, being escorted out of the hotel at Trump National Doral and into the Trump Suite on the 18th green.
The president was accompanied by his granddaughter, Kai Trump, the former Benjamin School golfer who will join the University of Miami golf team, and her father, Donald Trump Jr.

Trump made the walk from the hotel to his suite mostly in silence with very few fans in the area. After a smattering of cheers as he approached the suite, he waived at the top of the stairs before any other cheers.
The tournament has been sparsely attended, a combination of being late in the season for a golf event in South Florida and the rain that fell on the area early in the day.

Trump stayed until winner Cameron Young’s final putt dropped more than 4 hours after the president arrived at the course. He pushed his schedule ahead by several hours, much like the tournament did, because of the potential for more rain.

But once Trump settled in he stayed until the end, giving Young a thumbs up as he left the green and later exiting his black SUV to shake Young’s hand as the champion headed to scoring.
Air Force One then was scheduled to head back to Washington D.C. from Miami at 7 p.m.

The start of the final round was delayed two hours because of rain. Golfers teed off at 9:30 a.m. in threesome from the 1st and 10th tees. The final group of leader Young, Scottie Scheffler and Si Woo Kim teed off at 11:42 a.m.
Times were moved up May 2, with the first group scheduled to start at 7:30 a.m., in hopes of crowning a champion on May 3. With the delay and heavier rain expected late in the afternoon, the Tour just is hoping to crown a champion without having to extend the tournament by a day.
