Derek Jeter has been called out by President Obama.

While speaking at a fundraiser Monday at the home of Las Vegas Sun newspaper owner Brian Greenspun, Obama told a story about the former Yankees shortstop and Greenspun hustling him on a Vegas golf course.

Via Politico:

"He and Derek Jeter stole money from me at Shadow Creek." It was clearly a set-up, because when we got to the practice range, he was shanking balls everywhere. I said, 'You play golf, Derek?' And he said, 'I just started two weeks ago.'"

Obama went on to say that he gave Jeter 30 strokes, before realizing his error on the first hole.

He added, "We had to take a picture of me handing Derek Jeter money at the end of the game."

Jeter's still got it.
