Spiranac’s rival shares bold opinion on Dustin Johnson’s latest Ryder Cup disappointment

Spiranac is the undisputed queen of the internet with 3.8 million followers on Instagram. But giving her competition in the field is her rival Hailey Ostrom with 626k followers. And just like Spiranac, Ostrom is famous for sharing her bold opinions on golf-related matters.

This fan wrote an entire counterargument to why Dustin Johnson is the wrong choice. According to him, Dustin lacks the ranking to qualify and also didn’t perform well in the majors.

But this fan proposed a statement in favor of Johnson, saying that after the LIV fiasco, he just moved on without creating any mess and that he would have been a good choice.

Another user requested Ostrom to make a strong case as to why Dustin should be in the team.
