Kai Trumps message for Donald after missing cut | Golf News

Kai Trump’s maiden LPGA Tour look has concluded after two rounds, with the 18-year-old ending at 18-over par.

The teenager revealed her opening phrases to her grandfather Donald would focus on delivering a “great shot on 18.”

Trump competed in a subject with elite gamers such as former world No. 1 Nelly Korda and major champion Grace Kim. Her opening spherical resulted in a 13-over 83, before bouncing back with an improved five-over 75 on day two. It comes after WNBA famous person Caitlin Clark upstaged her just before the event.

Trump shared her ideas on the debut LPGA Tour expertise, notably what she deliberate to inform her president grandfather following the rounds.

“I hit a great shot on 18 two days in a row,” she revealed she would inform him.

The 18th gap had been Trump’s major fear heading into the competitors, yet it grew to become one of her strongest areas. She carded par on both days, making it one of just 4 holes where she prevented a bogey.

“After I hit my shot into 18 and that was honestly the hole I was worried most about and par’d that and I felt like, all right, now we got that out of the way; let’s keep moving on,” Trump commented following her opening spherical at The Annika.

“The whole time I was nervous without a doubt. I thought I did pretty good for just first time, being the youngest player in the field. I had a great time out there.”

Anxiety accompanied Trump as she started the Tour competitors, admitting she felt more nervous than during her look at a national conference.

“On the first tee I was a little bit more nervous than the RNC,” she said. “I thought I went in the bunker but I hit way past the bunker. I think honestly the adrenaline the whole time, I was hitting it way farther than I normally do, especially around some of the par-3s.

“But, yeah, I imply, in contrast to the RNC, I’d say the first two photographs had been more nerve-wracking than the RNC.”

Her grandfather Don, an avid golfer himself, offered his granddaughter some advice before she stepped onto the professional stage.

“My grandpa just about told me to go on the market and have enjoyable. Just do not get nervous. Try my best not to.”

Trump is set to attend the University of Miami after her senior year in high school, and plans to take the lessons learned from professionals with her.

“I imply, actually just put together. I did every part I might presumably have achieved for this event, so I believe if you put together proper the nerves can — I imply, they’re always going to be there, proper? They may be a little softened. So I’d just say that.”
