Paige Spiranac often speaks her heart out about all the things happening in the sports world. Despite having quit her golfing career years back, the social media star loves discussing the game with her fans. And a recent picture from the Arnold Palmer Invitational grabbed the golfer’s attention, to which she had a firm response on Twitter. Moreover, her statement about the epic moment also received several reactions from the fans!

The Arnold Palmer Invitational took a surprising turn towards the end of the final round. With just one hole remaining, five players still had a chance to make it to the title. And that could have gotten them a $3.6 million payout along with the spectacular trophy! But shocking all golf fans in the last few minutes, Chico-based Kurt Kitayama claimed the title after a few dramatic shots.

Other than the 30-year-old’s victory in the tournament, there was another thing that took away everyone’s attention during the final hole. While he attempted to putt it into the hole, the ball decided to hang around right on the edge of the hole, leaving each spectator in shock. But what was even more shocking was that the golfer decided to mark the ball rather than just making the effortless putt.

While others simply supported him and said it was his first tour victory. However, they didn’t agree to Spiranac calling it a “power move”.
