With her debut nerves behind her, things went better in the second round. But Kai Trump still looks set to finish last in her LPGA Tour debut.

The 18-year-old American, granddaughter of President Donald Trump, can sum up her debut after just two rounds.

83 strokes on the first day was followed by 75 on the second – and with a total of 18 strokes over par, Kai Trump will apparently finish last in the competition in Belleisle, Florida.

"The first day I was really, really nervous, the nerves were affecting me. When I went out there today I felt very calm and that's why I played better," Trump said.

Trump has modest golf credentials, but has 2.5 million followers on Instagram and received a sponsor invitation to "The Annika", the competition hosted by Annika Sörenstam.

Linn Grant is playing the best of the six Swedes. The Skåne native has started the second round strongly – with four birdies on the first eight holes – and shares eighth place, four strokes behind Australian leader Grace Kim.
