Expectations Drop Fast As Kai Trump Falters In Her LPGA Debut While Donald Trump Skips The Highly Anticipated Appearance

Kai Trump faced a challenging debut at her first LPGA event, The Annika, ending with a score of 13-over par 83, the day’s highest score, placing last among 108 competitors. The 18-year-old granddaughter of Donald Trump, currently ranked No. 461 by the American Junior Golf Association, encountered scrutiny regarding her invitation due to her family ties. Critics suggested her performance reflected a form of poetic justice.Starting her round poorly, she recorded two bogeys and a double bogey in the initial three holes but managed to secure a birdie on the seventh, only to finish her round with another double bogey. Despite initial confidence, she admitted post-game to feeling more nervous than expected, though she maintained that she made "good shots."Kai, who took up golf at age two, will soon embark on her collegiate career at the University of Miami, leveraging her social media presence to gain opportunities in the sport.
