Paige Spiranac has been an outspoken advocate for modernizing golf’s dress codes. She has faced this criticism herself. So, seeing Sam Ryder getting roasted by the golf community for his attire choice at the Farmers Insurance Open, was at the least to say triggering. 

Ryder wore joggers to the course instead of traditional golf pants, which created a frenzy among the fans and especially caused discomfort to Phil Mickelson.

In a recent episode of her podcast, Playing a Round with Paige, the influencer sparked a discussion about Ryder’s joggers. The joggers were not fitting and the 33-year-old barely showed an inch of skin. So, she was surprised to hear that Lefty thought Ryder was showing 4 inches of skin. Phil Mickelson has this tweet saying, how can you show 4 inches of skin?

Spiranac in response served a vicious roast to the 6-time major winner. She said, “Also if Phil thinks that it’s 4 inches, I feel sorry for his wife.”

Spriranac also hinted at her past feud with Mickelson by addressing the fact that he has blocked her over social media.
