Miami<\/a> golf team, she said, without disclosing how severe it was.<\/p>\n\u201cWhile 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,\u201d she wrote on social media. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s certainly not how I envisioned the next few months, but sometimes the journey takes an unexpected turn, and I\u2019m choosing to embrace this one with patience, and a whole lot of determination.\u201d<\/p>\n
The freshman is one of nine players listed on Miami’s roster. Her season with the Hurricanes has begun with a setback as a result of the operation.<\/p>\n
Miami have made a strong start as a team, winning two of their three events this season and finishing runner-up in the other.<\/p>\n

That record has the Hurricanes at No. 7 in the national rankings.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor now, it\u2019s all about healing, and trusting the process,\u201d she wrote in her post. \u201cI can\u2019t wait to be back with my team, doing what I love.”<\/p>\n
Kai made her professional debut last November, and revealed the advice she received from her grandfather prior to the event.<\/p>\n
When asked what he had told her, Kai responded: “Go out there and have fun. Just don\u2019t get nervous.”<\/p>\n
Trump did not attend the tournament due to other commitments, but this did not appear to bother Kai.<\/p>\n
“He\u2019s running the world right now, so a little busy,” she said when asked about his absence. Kai also described him as “just a normal grandpa. Always has been.”<\/p>\n
She confirmed they play golf together, though she remained tight-lipped about who typically wins their “tight matches,” adding, “We play a lot. We have a great time out there. We\u2019re always on the same team as well.”<\/p>\n
However, the pair will not be able to take to the course in the near future after Kai\u2019s decision to undergo surgery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Want to bookmark your favourite articles and stories to read or reference later?
