USA Presidential candidate Donald Trump has at least one promise and that was to mount the 3-iron that Rory McIlroy hurled into the water down the 8th hole during the second round of last year’s WGC – Cadillac  Championship.

While McIlroy was apologetic for his actions he was still fined a likely $5,000 for his actions given he was a member of the PGA Tour.

Trump, realising the enormous publicity the incident caused, arranged for a diver to retrieve the club McIlroy hurled into the water on the course affectionately known as ‘The Blue Monster’.

But then in presenting the Nike club, McIlroy suggested Trump keep the club and with Trump having it mounted on a back wall of the Golf Shop here at Trump Doral.

At the time Trump said:  “We had thought of either auctioning the club or sticking it in a trophy case here at Doral but then after talking with Rory we will get it framed. It was as such a big thing. It was over television, it was the biggest story Rory throwing the club.

“And an even bigger story was the scuba diver coming up and holding it up, I don’t know where this guy came from but he was central casting. So, we will probably mount it and hang it at Doral.

“The club repsents something. It was the biggest sports story for two days, first the throw and then the scuba diver. He has become world famous.”

And on the wall to the left of the Nike Vapor 3-iron is a letter, on Rory McIlroy Inc lettehead, that McIlroy later mailed to Trump and ending by saying:  “… and thank you for the salvage operation on my 3 iron”.
