Greetings from the Irish Open and an overcast Doonbeg.
President Trump spent the evening at his hotel where he was photographed celebrating his grandson's birthday and was greeted with cheers when he appeared at Doonbeg's hotel bar.
A White House official confirmed that Trump had dinner Saturday night with some of the players at the hotel.
We do not yet have an update on when we will see Trump at the tournament today, although Taoiseach Micheál Martin is expected to join at some point.
We will stay in Doonbeg until 7:35 PM local.
