BEDMINSTER, New Jersey (Reuters) - With U.S. President Donald Trump settled in at his Trump National Golf Club for the U.S. Women's Open, security became a major issue at the third women's major of the year on Saturday.

Bomb-sniffing dogs examined vehicles entering the 500-acre grounds, military personnel patrolled in jeeps and Secret Service agents tried to blend into the crowd in sky blue golf shirts, given away by the corded earphones running down their collars.
