Kai Trump, Benjamin girls golf win district title at Trump International West Palm Beach

Date:

The Benjamin School’s girls golf team won a district championship on Monday at Trump International West Palm Beach with a little help from the family of the course’s namesake.

The Bucs ran away with the team championship with a score of 320 (+28), finishing 19 shots clear of second-place Oxbridge Academy (+47).

Kai Trump, the granddaughter of 45th U.S. President and current Republican presidential candidate Donald J. Trump, shot an 84 (+11) to help the Bucs win the team title. She placed sixth individually and was Benjamin’s third-best finisher.
