Kai Trump enjoyed some women's March Madness action on Friday night as UConn and South Carolina both advanced to the championship game.
Trump, the granddaughter of President Donald Trump, made her way to Amalie Arena in Tampa Bay to watch the women's Final Four and smiled as she posed for a courtside photo.
The teenager tagged the UConn's women's team - who she previously predicted to win the tournament - in her Instagram story as she watched the Huskies trounce UCLA 85-51.
South Carolina also beat Texas in somewhat closer fashion, defeating the Longhorns 74-57 to move to the final game.
Trump had previously offered her March Madness predictions to her followers in an Instagram video, and backed the Huskies to win their 12th national championship.
'I have my predictions on who's going to win March Madness for women's and men,' the rising golfer said. 'So for men's, I think Duke's gonna win. Cooper [Flagg] is an amazing player, and he's honestly, he's been killing it in March Madness, but also all the games before that.

'And I've always been a huge Duke basketball fan, so I'm like really hoping they can win, And then for women's, I think UConn is going to win, because they have killed all their games leading up to March Madness.'
'And they just keep on dominating, and they're always winning by so many points. So I hope they win. And they have all great players and we'll see what happens. But you know, those are my predictions, and let's see if they win.
Kai's prediction for the men's tournament is alive as well, as Flagg and the Blue Devils will face Houston on Saturday night in the Final Four.
UConn's women will face South Carolina at 3pm ET on Sunday.
Kai, who has committed to play golf at the University of Miami, played recently at the Junior Invitational, an elite junior golf competition at Sage Valley.
With secret service agents flanking her on the course, she struggled badly - dropping a staggering 12 shots over seven holes alone on the back to finish with a 52-over for the tournament.
She finished last in the 24-player girls' field.
A day later, her mother Vanessa and Tiger Woods announced they were dating with a post to Instagram.
'Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together. At this time we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts,' the caption, written by Woods, read.
Kai did not comment on the post but she did like it.
