"He's pretty good. I shouldn't elaborate but we have competitive games," she mentioned.

The golfer shared that her grandfather, who won't be present, counseled her: "Simply avoid anxiety."

"My grandpa basically suggested to go out there and relax," she explained.

"From my perspective, he's just an ordinary family member. He won't be there this weekend. He's occupied with world affairs, making him somewhat preoccupied."

Being non-professional, Kai has competed in just three tournaments in 2024 and maintains position 461 in AJGA listings.

Yet she's able to receive tips from golf legend, in a relationship with her mother.

"He stands as the greatest golfer worldwide," the young golfer said.

The LPGA mentioned that involving Kai brings golf to different demographics, especially with youth audiences.
