She was nervous, but she gave it her all. Says Kai Trump says in her new video titled ‘I Competed in My First LPGA Event.’ Her presence at The ANNIKA certainly did not sit right with many. Was it a way to cash in more viewers for an already struggling LPGA Tour? Or was it giving an unfavorable advantage to a player, just because of her fame? Many such questions were raised. But through it all, Trump remained silent…until now.

“There’s been a lot of comments,” says Kai Trump, as she records herself in her living room. “Especially, I would say, in the news…people are like, ‘Is she good enough or did she shoot this over at Junior Invitational?’…I think that’s what happens when you…get these Invitational…when you’re just out there.”

Trump’s stance should not be surprising. What else is a golfer cum celebrity bearing arguably the most powerful name in the world supposed to say? Perhaps that’s why she quickly recognized the love she’s been getting ever since the news was announced.

“But also, there’s a lot of positives…That’s also what happens…you’re going to get love, and you’re going to get hate,” says Trump.

This video in question was shot a week before Kai Trump actually made her debut at the Pelican Golf Course. An excited Trump could be seen buying a new microphone and cameras to record her entire experience, and to make it more “personal.” But the coming week did not really turn out the way she wanted.

As many critics would have expected, Trump missed the cut. For the two rounds she played, she shot 83-75 for 18-over. Her first day was terrible, as the 18-year-old registered nine bogeys and two double bogeys on her scorecard. The next day could be called decent, with four birdies. But eventually she finished 108th on the leaderboard, seventeen shots outside the cut line.
