"Could be worse"; "Were they supposed to win?" - Fans react to Charlie Woods and Kai Trump's forgettable Junior Invitational run

The Junior Invitational 2025 has been forgettable for Charlie Woods and Kai Trump, as both have struggled to impress. While Tiger Woods' son sits at 25th in the boys' section, Donald Trump's granddaughter is at the very bottom in the girls' portion.

On Friday, March 22, Charlie Woods carded a 1-over 73 with the help of four birdies, three bogeys, and a double bogey. He is aggregated at 8-over and is 19 strokes behind the leader. In the girls' section, Kai Trump shot an 83 in the third round, which comprised just one birdie against eight bogeys and a couple of double bogeys.

Fans online had mixed reactions to Charlie Woods and Kai Trump's performances. While many claimed that they were not good enough for the game, others came out in support of both youngsters.

Here's a look at some reactions:

"Were they supposed to win?" one fan wrote.

"Could be worse, like Brooklyn Beckham.😛," another fan posted.

"Kai comes from a family that has no athletes. That’s purely bought in. As for Charlie it’s not a shock to me. If your father made it to the pros (and even worse if they were a great) it’s likely they never make it in that sport," this fan commented.

"I think both will do much better. Kai is going to play for U Miami in 18 months. She just has been distracted by her recent celebrity," this fan opined.

"I don't think either one of them is going to have trouble making ends meet if their golf aspirations don't pan out," one user remarked.

"Shows how gifted you must be to reach the pros. You can have every advantage in life, but reaching the top requires exceptional talent," another fan posted.
