Earlier we had been talking about Donald Trump and Northern Irish golfer Rory McIlroy has courted controversy after playing a round of the golf with the US President. The four time major winner said that Trump was "a decent player for a guy in his 70's!" McIlroy has tried to stay out of politics in the past. He has spoken about being conflicted on whether to represent Team GB or Ireland in the olympics. So was it a mistake to play golf with one of the most controversial political figures in the world right now? Stephen got the views of sports journalist Steven Beacom and commentator Malachi O'Doherty.
