@PaigeSpiranac is no joke she can play golf with authority. She single-handedly carried our team. 18 under wasn’t to shabby. 👊👊

Her fans loved that the former MLB pitcher has complimented Spiranac for her golfing skills. Some chose the opportunity to show their frustration over others for not recognizing her golfing ability. Meanwhile, some just reflected on how good she is at playing the sport.
Sorry David. Nobody will believe this, as Twitter still thinks Paige would lose to a 10 handicap straight up. 😂
Pretty sure Paige needs to start a YouTube series where she just randomly takes on trolls to embarrass them. #WhenWillTheyLearn #golf

One of the course marshalls at the event continuously commented how the former golfer impressed them during the match.
I've been the Marshall on #18 for 10 years, where we have talked about you golfing with Mark Crossfield , and the farthest drive I ever seen was Sunday to the cart exit from Mia Hamm, until Monday . You almost hit the green which is 276 from tee-box. Great playing

Google Barefoot Dye course. She almost drove 18. Not one LPGA player has driven it as far as her. 276 from tee box and they were chipping it to the pin. I would have used my putter. I'm a single digit handicap. She's won on LET.
