Beauty, Brains, and Talent: How Paige Spiranac Became the Most Famous Golfer on the Internet
Her Experience at Arizona
Spiranac’s primary concern was where she would attend college, given her tremendous accomplishment in golf. She initially got accepted to several prestigious college programs, but in the end, she decided to take up the University of Arizona’s sports scholarship. However, for Spiranac, attending college would be a significant culture shock.
She fell victim to bullies and mean girls as other female athletes propagated tales about her as a golfer and homeschooled student. Furthermore, she only participated in three competitive events throughout her first year. Even though she set her first record during that time, Arizona didn’t feel like the appropriate place for her.
