The Junior Invitational at Sage Valley wrapped Saturday, and two of the event’s biggest names struggled at the event. Charlie Woods — son of Tiger — and Kai Trump — granddaughter of President Donald Trump — both finished above par to end the tournament.
Woods finished at 11-over at the Junior Invitational. That tied for 25th out of 36 in the boys division. Woods got off to a slow start, turning in a 78 and finishing 6-over on the day. He performed better the next two days, shooting a 73 in the second and third round of the event. Woods started off strong Saturday, recovering from a bogey on the third hole and notching three birdies to finish 2-under halfway through the course. The backend of the course proved to be challenging, as Woods had four bogeys and a double bogey. He shot a 75 and finished the day 3-over.
United States amateur golf phenom Miles Russell finished first in the boys division, shooting 9-under at the event.
Kai Trump struggles at Junior Invitational
Trump finished the event 52-over, last in the girls division. Trump started and ended the tournament poorly, shooting an 89 in both the first and final round of the event. Her best performance came in the second round, when she shot a 79 and finished 7-over.
Canadian Aphrodite Deng finished first in the girls division, shooting 7-under at the event. She beat out China’s Yujie Liu, who ended the tournament 1-under.
Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump announce relationship
While Charlie and Kai were taking part in the event, their parents made news away from the golf course. Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump announced their relationship Sunday. Woods confirmed the relationship with a post on X that featured pictures of he and Trump together. Woods started the post by declaring “love is in the air.”
