Miami freshman golfer Kai Trump, President Trump's granddaughter, says she had
wrist surgery
CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) --- Kai Trump's freshman season on Miami's golf team
has hit a snag.
The granddaughter of President Donald Trump revealed on social media Wednesday
that she recently had surgery to repair a left wrist injury. She did not reveal
the severity and said the injury happened during her first tournament of the
season.
"While I had hoped to avoid surgery, after talks with my family, coaches, and
athletic training staff I know I made the best decision for my long-term health
and my future in the game I love," she wrote on social media. "It's certainly
not how I envisioned the next few months, but sometimes the journey takes an
unexpected turn, and I'm choosing to embrace this one with patience, and a
whole lot of determination."
Kai Trump is one of nine players on Miami's roster. The Hurricanes, as a team,
have two tournament wins and one runner-up finish in three events this season
--- currently holding the No. 7 spot in the national rankings.
"For now, it's all about healing, and trusting the process," she wrote in her
post. "I can't wait to be back with my team, doing what I love."
