The bridge in question is named The Swilcan Bridge, aka Swilcanth. It spans between the first and eighteenth fairways on the Old Course. Spiranac talked about it and explained its current look.
She said, “It’s the bridge in St. Andrews. And they built this patio, like stone addition to the bridge. And so when you’re walking up to the bridge, you basically have a little patio before you get on there.”
Recently, the authorities put on a patio, which changed the original bridge. Spiranac explained the reason behind the change. “They did that because it was just dead grass, because so many people, obviously, were going to walk up the bridge, take their pictures, and so they want to make it look a lot better,” said the golf beauty.
Spiranac pointed towards the negative aspect and said, “They got so much hate to the point that they have removed the patio. And now it’s just dirt.” The former pro discussed the controversy and said, “there was a little controversy I was looking, and a couple of big-name pros jumped in on it.” And she understands that no one likes changes; therefore, people were upset.
