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.
Just before keeping the ball above his mouth, Trent says, “I’m more nervous than I thought.” Fortunately for him, Spiranac hits the ball cleanly.
The 2022 Maxim’s Sexiest Woman Alive quickly began to shed tears of joy after completing the shot. Despite her troubles during her professional days, Spiranac still attained the task.
