You\u2019re looking and they\u2019re sinking 30-footers, 40-footers, 70-footer, and just one after another, and it was interesting,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;It looked like it was over and then Sunday, it really, they almost came back.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You have to give a big hoot to an opponent who dropped about a six-foot putt. That was a big putt, that final putt. It was a big putt.

I really believe that that was unusual because I\u2019ve never seen so many long putts go in before. I don\u2019t think, generally speaking, that would happen. We actually, our team actually hit the ball a little bit better, hit more fairways.
