Biden’s decision to pull out from US Presidential race comes after a golf pro at one of Donald Trump’s courses said the former president hit a perfect 210-yard four iron to within 10 feet of a hole.

‘He needed to sink that putt to win. Do you think he sunk it? You better believe he sunk that putt,’  John Nieporte said at the Republican National Convention (RNC), according to the Huffington Post.
