However, in the recent episode, among many other revelations and discussions about the golf world, she talked about Justin Thomas, who had once broken her heart years ago. She appreciated JT for his behavior on the course and expressed her true feeling with her fellow speakers. Even though she had a bitter experience earlier with him, Spiranac admires how he is a perfect friend in real life.

The internet sensation continued talking about Smiley and his long friendship with the former no. 1, Justin Thomas. In 2017, Spiranac remembered Smiley signed a sponsorship with Natty Lights, and he was sitting on a box of beers looking at his friends play on the course at Augusta. This was after he was part of the final group for Masters. But the friendship with JT after all those five years is still intact. She said, “they’re dabbing to each other from across the fairway, JT and Smiley, like, that’s exactly where I pictured them.“

Smiley is now a commentator, and Justin is playing on the course, but still, their ego is nowhere to be seen. Spiranac was happy to see their friendship strong because that is where she pictured them five years earlier. Five years later, Justin and Smiley dabbed each other across the fairway. Watching the bromance spring on the course at Augusta was beautiful for an ex-golfer.
It didn’t, after all, matter that JT had once rejected her, she still had an appreciation for him and how he handled his friendships. He was a good friend and could maintain a bond from years back.
Why did Justin reject Spiranac?
In 2017, a Twitter follower of the former golfer made a prophecy. According to him, Spiranac and Justin would be dating in the coming months. But the internet queen put a full stop to the speculation by revealing an unknown fact. In a tweet, she said that she did flirt with Justin during their junior golf times.
