Kai Trump reports wrist setback after Miami golf debut

Kai Trump said she aggravated a wrist problem during her first tournament for the University of Miami and is receiving treatment after finishing tied for 102nd in a 120-player field at the Golfweek Fall Challenge in South Carolina. Her account of the injury and treatment comes from a recent vlog; the precise diagnosis and effectiveness of treatment have not been independently established. Trump said she struck unexpectedly hard ground near a cart path during the tournament, felt a shock travel through her arm and continued playing. Later, while hitting a driver on the 10th hole, she felt renewed pain and thought she might have torn the wrist again. She subsequently said she had not completely torn it and described a small area of cartilage and ligament damage. The Golfweek Fall Challenge was held September 6-8 at Caledonia Golf Fish Club in Pawleys Island, South Carolina. It marked Trump’s first college tournament and her first event representing Miami. She competed as an individual, rather than contributing to the Hurricanes’ team score, and tied for 102nd among 120 players. The reports provide no independent evidence establishing how the wrist issue affected her result.
