England captain Harry Kane opens up on ‘surreal’ round of golf with Donald Trump – and returns compliment to US President after ‘great player’ flattery

England captain Harry Kane described playing golf with United States President Donald Trump as a ‘pretty surreal experience’.

Trump revealed earlier in the week that the pair had previously played a round together, telling reporters: ‘I think Kane is a great player. I played golf with him and I like him a lot. He’s a good golfer too. He’s really great.’

Kane said it happened 18 months ago in Florida and is envious of Trump’s golf game at the age of 80.

‘I played alright to be honest, but 18 months ago he invited me to play when I was down in Palm Beach,’ the 32-year-old said ahead of England’s World Cup quarter-final with Norway on Saturday.

‘So when the President invites you somewhere, it was a pretty surreal experience just to meet him and obviously play golf with him.

‘His golf is pretty good, to be honest with you. I hope I can play golf as good as him when I’m his age, that’s for sure. A unique experience, but I was just grateful that he invited me to play.’
