President Trump’s granddaughter Kai has wrist surgery after injury

President Donald Trump‘s granddaughter, Kai Trump, revealed on social media Wednesday she underwent surgery to repair a wrist injury. 

Kai is an active golfer and made her LPGA debut in November at The Annika in Belleair, Florida. 

“Today, I underwent left wrist surgery to address injuries to the stabilizing tissues of my ECU tendon and damage to my fibrocartilage complex. The surgery was successfully performed at the Lehigh Valley Orthopedic Institute by Dr. Thomas Graham, Chief of Jefferson Orthopedics. I look forward to my rehab in the coming months, I am excited for the ability to play golf pain free,” she wrote.

The teen wore a bandage on her wrist during a recent interview on Logan Paul’s podcast, “Impaulsive.” 

Trump finished in last place at The Annika but made a notable improvement in her second day of competition compared to her first day, improving by eight strokes.

She finished with a two-round score of 18-over 158, putting her 27 shots behind leader Grace Kim (65-66) and 17 away from the projected cut line at one over par.

“For the first day, I was definitely really nervous. I think the nerves just got to me,” she said. “When I went out there today, I felt very calm and peaceful, to be honest with you. That’s why I played better.

“I did everything I could possibly have done for this tournament. So, I think if you prepare right, the nerves can … they’re always going to be there, right? They can be a little softened. So, I would just say that.”

Trump’s performance earned the praise of women’s golf star Charley Hull, a supporter of the president.

“That’s really good considering this is not just an easy LPGA event. This is probably one of the harder courses that we play on,” Hull said of Trump, per Golf Channel. 

“So, for her to come out, she had to be so nervous. It was her first LPGA event. I remember my first event. I was really nervous, and she’s got a lot of pressure on her and a lot of eyes on her.”
