“Blew Everyone Away”: Paige Spiranac Becomes Lexi Thompson’s Knight in Shining Armor Just Days After Getting Bullied for Her Latest PGA Tour Collaboration

Women in golf have come a long way but they had to fight hard for it. For a game for which the tagline happens to be a gentlemen’s game, the ladies had to break many barriers to earn their deserving place in it. And though golf influencer Paige Spiranac may not actively play, she is acutely aware of the struggles that women face on the greens.

And despite her differences, she is ready to support the LPGA players when it comes to unfair comparison. After Lexi Thompson played on the PGA Tour recently, there has been a lot of sexist criticism about it. But Spiranac is there to support her friend.

Not long ago Lexi Thompson made her debut on the men’s PGA Tour at the Shriners Children’s Open. Though she failed to make the cut, her commendable efforts received much support from the female golf community. However, some people were more concerned about whether or not she was teeing it off with the men than focusing on her performance.

In Spiranac’s latest episode of her podcast Playing a Round with Paige, the influencer spoke about the matter and defended Thompson. The former golfer did not shy away from showing her support for Thompson and went on to praise the American golfer and said, “Way to go. Lexi, I think she blew everyone away. She was so poised she played so well.

When Thompson failed to make the cut at the PGA Tour event, she became a victim of online trolls. Even then Spiranac came to the young golfer’s defense and stated, “And yes, she did play from the men’s tees where everyone else played. That was a big question. While she was playing so many people kept asking what tees Is she playing from she was playing for the men’s tees. Talk about Sport.”
