When you are done with trolls, people generally suggest owning things rather than dismissing them. That way, no one else can make fun of you if you do that yourself. And the former golfer Paige Spiranac took note of it and decided to troll herself.

The internet queen has over 11 million followers across all social media platforms. However, the journey to her success was a challenging task. While she received appreciation and lots of love from many, some of her followers always had something negative to say. They would comment on her physical appearance, scrutinize her choice of clothes, and lower her confidence.

Although all these negative messages hurt her, they also made her immune to further trolling. She now uses her voice, the most potent weapon, to fight them back. Mostly, she takes a sarcastic approach to dealing with trolls. Recently, although he wasn’t aiming at her, Phil Mickelson‘s one comment on Twitter hurt her feelings. And as expected from a social media icon, Spiranac used it to show the dark side of her career.

Paige Spiranac does not need trollers now?

It is said that you grow best in adversity, but in the case of the internet queen, she has moved on beyond that level. It was yesterday when the LIV defector, Mickelson, was having his Twitter party indulging in discussions about LIV vs. PGA. During this, when one of the users commented, “Do you still play golf, Phil?” Mickelson replied, “Ma’am, we are speaking guy talk. This isn’t directed towards you.”

The golf beauty took a screenshot of Mickelson’s comment and posted it on her handle, “Sums up my life in the golf industry lol.” She trolled herself and hilariously pointed out how she was treated in the golf world. Whenever she tried to make big in golf, she was snubbed and shunned in the corner. The golf world ignored her ideas and expressions. She seemed fit to relate her struggles with the lefty’s comment, but sarcastically.

Spiranac was already triggered enough with the online Sam Ryder’s joggers’ discussion. Since she was trolled for her cloth choices, watching someone go through the same did not sit well with her. And therefore, it was fitting for her to give a reality check on how the golf world works with her latest tweet. However, no one ever thought Mickelson’s tweet would subtly become her sarcastic weapon to troll herself. Now, her trollers can rest; she has got it.
