Paige Spiranac slams Bryson DeChambeau for

Social media starlet Paige Spiranac had labelled Bryson DeChambeau “disingenuous” and “annoying” after accusing him of name-dropping in his latest victory speech.

The American stunned the golfing world this week after twice nearly driving the famous sixth hole at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, on his way to a one-stroke victory in the PGA Tour event.

DeChambeau beat Lee Westwood by one stroke to win the title on Sunday, with his putting perhaps even more of a feature than his long driving prowess.

However, it was the American’s victory speech that Spiranac took up issue with, when the 27-year-old mentioned Tiger Woods – who is of course recovering from multiple surgeries after being involved in a shocking car crash in southern California.

DeChambeau described his victory as “quite a battle” before referring to a conversation he had with the 15-time major winner.

“I don’t even know what to say, to win at Mr Palmer’s event, it’s going to make me cry,” he said.

“It means the world to me. I got a text from Tiger [Woods] this morning and he obviously had done really well here. We talked about just keep fighting no matter what happens and play boldly like Mr Palmer said.

“My heart has been heavy with Tiger and what’s been going on with him, I just kept telling myself it’s not how many times you get kicked down it’s about how many times you get picked back up and keep going, and that’s what I did out there today.”
