[Video]Paige Spiranac makes a hole-in-one and receives a celebratory hug from Gary Player
Paige Spiranac aced the hole. That’s cool in and of itself. But to do it in front of Gary Player, a member of the World Golf Hall of Fame? That’s just the next level.
It happened on Monday at the 148-yard 14th hole at Glen Arbor Golf Club in Bedford Hills, New York, during a charity golf event sponsored by Berenberg to benefit Pancreatic cancer research. Vivienne, the player’s wife, died of the disease earlier this year.
Spiranac, 28, is a former professional golfer who is now more well-known as a social media personality.
She simply stated, “Made a hole in one in front of Gary Player,” in her first tweet about her ace.
She sat on that humble-brag for four hours before flexing with video proof.
As the ball is in the air, the player can be heard discussing his club selection with his caddie in the video. Someone says “Go in… GO IN!.”
It did, which garnered a round of applause and the aforementioned hug from The Black Knight. Spiranac’s reaction? “Oh my God,” she exclaimed. “Did you get that?”
Paige, they did. That one is a keeper.
