Kai Trump suffered an injury to her wrist last year during her golf practice.
“Because now my wrist is like bionic and there’s a lot of stuff going on in there, I always have to like warm up my wrist now, which I’ve never done before. It does kind of hurt still,” the athlete explained.
“I have no muscle on my arm," she continued as she raised her arm up. "But it’s a good warm-up, to be honest with you. It seems stupid, but I also don’t want surgery again. So, not going through that again.”

Kai further revealed she feared she would "lose" her golfing skills after not playing for several months. However, she dished she still had her "touch" once she got back into practice following her physical therapy.
"That’s what happens when you do not play golf for seven months. You actually get better. Try it out. Just don’t practice. My coaches would love to hear that. For me, it worked out pretty well," she quipped.
