Paige Spiranac defended Justin Thomas over a controversy
Paige Spiranac has been very honest with everything she speaks about with her fans. Along with being honest, Spiranac has a reputation for being strong with her statements. There was a time when the world stood against golf star Justin Thomas. But Spiranac didn’t take long to jump in front of the golfer to defend him against his critics.
The controversy took place when Thomas used a cuss word during ESPN’s telecast. The golfer was in a field without many spectators. And that might have led him to believe that he could be a bit informal, and careless, with the words he used. As a result, Thomas said “Dude, you’ve got to be f—ing kidding me,” after a birdie putt slid by the cup on the fifth hole.

Her statement worked wonders for the golfer since many fans started coming out in support of Thomas after that. However, there was no official response from Thomas toward Spiranac’s statement.
