Kai Trump, the oldest grandchild of President-elect Donald Trump, enjoyed an early morning of playoff golf followed by a late night at a presidential election celebration on Tuesday.
Trump, a junior on the Benjamin School’s girls golf team, shot 79 (plus-8) to finish tied for 22nd at the Region 4-1A championship hosted at Miami Shores Country Club on Tuesday morning.
She made two birdies, seven bogeys and a triple bogey during her round. Trump is committed to play collegiate golf at the University of Miami.
The Bucs finished third as a team at 305 (plus-21), one shot away from state tournament qualification, likely ending Trump and the Bucs’ 2024 high school golf season.
In the wee hours of Wednesday morning, Trump joined her father Donald Trump Jr. and several other family members on stage at the Palm Beach County Convention Center as her grandfather declared victory in the 2024 presidential election.
