Lexi Thompson is one of the most well-known players in the world of golf. The 27-year-old has tons of records in her name. One of the things that differentiate Thompson from other players is that she was the youngest player to qualify for the US Women’s Open at the age of 12.
Former professional golfer Paige Spiranac is one of the most successful social media influencers today. With over 3.5 million followers on Instagram, Spiranac has established a strong personality online. Her YouTube channel has over 290,000 subscribers.
Spiranac has been the biggest supporter of women’s golf ever since she joined as a professional golfer. Moreover, even after quitting her career as a golfer, Spiranac always talks in favor of women and the sport.
However, there was a time when she wrote something on Twitter that, according to a fan, was pointed toward Lexi Thompson. It was in 2017 when Spiranac tweeted, “I don’t understand why people lie to get ahead. It always catches up to you”.
But Spiranac didn’t stay quiet this time either. She replied, much stronger this time, and said, “Dude just stop. I defended her and have her back regarding the situation. It wasn’t directed at her. I have a life outside of golf.”. Her statement cleared that the tweet was not pointed toward Thompson, but rather toward someone she knew off the field.
Spiranac once opened up about the time she was in her college during her junior golfing days. “I grew up with like…Lexi Thompson, like we were all playing together” she said. She also mentioned being around other top players and how they were all very supportive of each other.
