Kai Trump shoots 13-over 83 in LPGA Tour debut, last in field

15. For The Non-Golfers On This Thread

An 83 is not a terrible score, but it is at a professional golf tournament.
And, one does not hit "a lot of great shots" but shoot 13 over because of "bad spots". Unless of course she has a VERY substandard short game and us a bad putter. So, there's an element of delusion in her assessment.
Finally there are a few hundred collegiate golfers who could have played better on that sponsor exemption, but the sponsor wouldn't have a token worth future favors.
Finally, collegiate golfers with potential for their respective pro tours are already world class at 18. Maybe not best in the world level, but world class. World class golfers with nothing on the line don't shoot 13 over par.
We have people on this thread castigating others for being critical. But, my critique is based on golf.
From purely a golf perspective, she didn't belong in that field.
