Donald Trump’s granddaughter Kai in last after 83 in shaky LPGA debut

Here is a 183-word summary of the news article: Donald Trump's 18-year-old granddaughter, Kai Trump, made her LPGA debut on Thursday at The Annika tournament. Playing on a sponsor's exemption, Kai opened with a 13-over-par 83, leaving her at the bottom of the leaderboard. The large gallery following Kai's round underscored the significant gap between elite junior golf and the top professional field. Kai, an amateur, struggled with the pressure and difficulty of competing against seasoned LPGA players. The decision to grant Kai a sponsor's exemption has been controversial, with some questioning whether she had earned the opportunity. However, Annika Sorenstam, the tournament host, defended the invite, saying Kai's participation was good for the game. Despite the difficult debut, Kai received warm applause from the crowd as she took the course and after her first tee shot. The experience will likely provide valuable lessons as Kai continues her development as a golfer.
