Brittany Lincicome would prefer it if President Donald Trump not only doesn't drive his cart on the green at July's U.S. Women's Open, but that he doesn't show up at all.

The American golfer told The Chicago Tribune she would prefer if Trump does not attend the upcoming major, which will be played July 13-16 at Trump National in Bedminster.

"Hopefully maybe he doesn't show up and it won't be a big debacle and it will be about us and not him," Lincicome told The Tribune. "I don't know him. I have met him probably once. I think it will be fine. We're going to play an amazing golf course and let our clubs do the talking."

Lincicome made her comments during the KPMG Women's PGA Championship in Olympia Fields, Ill. Her comments came after Trump's recent Twitter attacks against Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, the co-hosts of MSNBC's 'Morning Joe.'

Trump attacked Brzezinski in particular, saying she has a "low IQ" and insinuating she was bleeding after a face lift when she allegedly tried to meet with him at his Mar-a-Lago resort several months prior.

Lincicome stopped short of saying the LPGA should move the tournament from Trump National in response to Trump's repeated verbal attacks against women, as well as his infamous Access Hollywood tape comments and accusations of sexual harassment and assault that have been made against him.

"It's a fine line because the USGA picked that golf course years ago. It would be so impossible, even if we wanted to boycott it," said Lincicome, who added she is not aware of any serious effort to arrange a player boycott. "I mean, the purse is so big, I don't think anybody would. ... We don't get to play for that much money that often.

"Hopefully he doesn't show up and it will be about us."
