TRUMP CARD

He’s one of the world’s richest and most bombastic business men — and Donald Trump always gets his way. Which is why no-one’s betting against him hosting a future US Open on his own New Jersey creation. SIMON LEWIS reports from New York.

D ONALD TRUMP has more in his sights than good ratings for his hit TV show The Apprentice — he is also targeting a US Open championship.

Extremely ambitious businessman that he is, even he does not believe he can oust Tiger, Phil and Co. on the course. Instead, the real estate tycoon turned TV presenter wants to host the biggest tournament in American golf on his very own course.
