Funk said the president shot a “legit” even-par 36 on the front nine and played “decent” on the back nine.
“He actually played well; I was very surprised,” Funk told CNN. “He shot even par on the front and played decent on the back, too. He’s definitely a lot better than I thought he was going to be. He’s a good player, he’s a lot of fun to play with. Just very engaging, and really I don’t have a bad thing to say about our round. It was amazing.”
Funk also shared a photo of his round with Trump on Twitter with the caption “#maga.”
Trump has reportedly visited his golf clubs nearly 90 times in his first year as president, but little footage exists of his golf outings.
During a recent round, CNN obtained footage by having a reporter hide in a bush.
Following the incident, a large white truck reportedly parked in front of the shrubbery so the angle would no longer be available.
Funk was told not to flim Trump.

“Amazing day, Amazing guy very engaging, very thoughtful. Asked a lot of questions, wanted to know how he could be a better golfer, a better president,” said Funk in the now-deleted YouTube video.
