Paige Spiranac is an American social media personality and retired professional golfer. She played college golf at both the University of Arizona and San Diego State University, winning All-Mountain West Conference honors during the 2012–13 and 2013–14 seasons, and leading the Aztecs to their first Mountain West Conference Championship in 2015.
Unfortunately throughout her career, Spiranac has been criticized about her dress attire. She was once on the cover of Golf Digest and was ridiculed by ESPN commentator Sarah Spain for only making the cover of the publication for because of the types of clothes she wears.
Spiranac, who clearly has thick skin, utilizes the exposure to promote her anti-bullying campaign and continue to fight for a woman’s right to feel comfortable in her own skin. In both the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition and Golf Digest, Spiranac shared accounts of random internet users harassing her online,and how she uses the experiences as motivation for her fight against online mistreatment.

In other golf news, a golf storage manager from Minnesota somehow managed to qualify for the PGA Championship. Derek Holmes, the manager at the PGX store in Edina MN, sunk a 30 foot putt to finish even par at a qualifying event that was shown on the NBC Sports Network. Holmes had this to say about qualifying:
“With a two-year old at home and a booming PXG store to manage, it’s been a grind to find time to commit to the game. I feel fortunate to work with PXG. They’ve provided me the space, support, and tools to dial-in my game,” Holmes said in a statement. “This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to play among the best and I am grateful to not only have PXG in my bag, but also in my corner.”
