Boxing legend Oscar De La Hoya had nothing good to say about a round of golf with President Donald Trump, accusing him of cheating in multiple ways.
According to a report from the Daily Mail, De La Hoya has claimed the president repeatedly bent the rules in his favor during a round they played.
The former professional boxer, who won belts at the super featherweight, lightweight, light welterweight, light middleweight and middleweight classes, recalled Trump moving his ball from the rough and onto the fairway. He also says the president "did not count shots that landed in the water," according to the report.
"It was unbelievable," De La Hoya explained in an interview. "Golf is a gentleman's sport. You don't lie about your score; you don't lie about moving your ball. It goes to show what we're dealing with."
Veteran sports writer Rick Reilly previously penned a book diving into Trump's alleged history of cheating in the sport. Reilly described a pattern of behavior he saw firsthand, including claims that Trump drove a modified golf cart that went faster than others so he could speed ahead of the rest of his group to move his ball into a better position.
Like De La Hoya, Reilly claimed Trump would "move his ball into better lies." But Reilly also claims the president would kick opponents' balls into sand traps.
In the book, Reilly recalled a round in Los Angeles where Trump hit a shot into a pond — only for the ball to magically end up in the fairway. When asked to explain what happened, Reilly claims that Trump replied, "Must've been the tide."
