But soon after, Spiranac’s opinion of them changed. She said she realized how “cool” it is that the younger crowd wants to be exactly like her. The blonde beauty now believes that the trophies are too much of an achievement because it means she was able to get more people interested in the sport.
She now agrees with Drew’s words, “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.” Paige is proud of what she’s been able to do by helping “pave a path for women to now make a good career in a male-dominated industry.”
