Paige Spiranac

Paige Renee Spiranac ( ; born March 26, 1993) is an American social media personality, golf instructor, and former professional golfer. She played Division 1 college golf at both the University of Arizona and San Diego State University, winning All-Mountain West Conference honors during the 2012–13 and 2013–14 seasons, and leading the Aztecs to their first Mountain West Conference Championship in 2015. Early life and education Spiranac was born in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. Her father, Dan, was on the University of Pittsburgh Panthers football team, which won the 1976 national college championship. Her mother, Annette, was a professional ballerina. Her older sister Lexie earned a college athletic scholarship, competing on Stanford's track team. Spiranac grew up in Monument, Colorado, where she did gymnastics and hoped to compete in the Olympics. At 12, a twice-broken kneecap led to a decision to end her gymnastics career and try golf. Her parents decided she would be homeschooled due to her history of being and her anxiety. In her teens, Spiranac split her time between Scottsdale, Arizona, and Monument, Colorado. Career
