(UKPA) – 18 minutes ago

US President Barack Obama has abruptly ended a round of golf and sped toward his family's holiday home in Hawaii for what is being described as a "personal matter".

An ambulance was seen speeding toward their compound in Kailua.

White House aides said the speedy departure and return to the President's home was not a matter of national security or because of a threat to Mr Obama's safety.

Mr Obama was playing golf when reporters who travel with him were quickly assembled for a return to the first family's neighbourhood.

Journalists saw an ambulance speed past with its lights on, heading toward the end of Mr Obama's street. The ambulance would have passed through a security checkpoint at the end of the street.

White House aides said the quick departure from the golf course had nothing to do with national security or a threat to the president's safety.

CNN said the child of one of his golfing partners cut his chin and needed stitches.

I expected it to be for something silly. Guess I was correct.

This is a matter of national security.
