Spiranac was shooting a video with Fore Play Golf, which is a popular golf podcast under the banner of Barstool Sports. Many famous faces in the golf world have had the opportunity to perform different tasks on the show.

In 2016, Paige Spiranac was still attempting to play professionally. It’s no shocker that her confidence is what got her going for the shot.

Paige Spiranac tees off the mouth

During a game of golf, the player needs to hit the ball regardless of where it lands to avoid a penalty. But in Spiranac’s case, it was a tee shot that was struck right out of the mouth.

At first Spiranac says, “I’m so scared,” but carries on with the shot. Trent, the blogger for Fore Play Golf, before laying down, mentions that the shot was motivated by John Daly, who had previously succeeded in completing the gutsy shot.
