"He practically advised me to go out there and relax," she explained.
"In my eyes, he's simply a regular grandfather. He can't make it for the tournament. He's busy with world affairs, so he's rather occupied."
While still amateur, the golfer has competed in a mere three competitions this year and maintains ranking 461 in the American Junior Golf Association standings.

Kai will face some of the biggest names in professional golf at the competition, such as world number two the champion, British Charley Hull, professional Thompson and 2023 champion Lilia Vu.
The LPGA stated that involving Kai exposes golf to different demographics, especially with youth audiences.
The social media influencer maintains substantial online presence and just introduced a personal fashion and living label.
