PointsBet ambassador Paige Spiranac won a 2016 Cactus Tour event by shooting 68 in the final round. She made the cut in the 2016 Scottish Open. She pounds drives 260 yards and made an ace in front of Gary Player.
She. Can. Play.
But we believe she’s a massive underdog in her next challenge – a match with John Daly. JD is 57 with bad knees and a distaste for practice, but the freakish talent remains. The two will square off Monday in a Celebrity Charity Match billed as “Beauty and the Beast” that will take place at the Geneva National resort in Lake Geneva, Wis. Details here.
Paige and Daly will play from the same tees, shortened to 6,088 yards.
“My key to success is wedge play,” she texted. “We know he is a master around the greens, so I’ll have to bring my ‘A’ game, especially from inside 100 yards.”
We’re #TeamPaige all the way, but we’re installing her – for entertainment purposes only – as a +300 underdog. Daly is -400.
