“I publicly hated on him” – Paige Spiranac details what it was like to shoot with Bryson DeChambeau
Paige Spiranac recently said that, after shooting content with Bryson DeChambeau, she discovered that he was significantly different from her earlier perception of him.
Last month, Spiranac had an extended interaction with DeChambeau while shooting content for her YouTube channel. They played a round of golf and also had a fun conversation during the game.
Recently, the 30-year-old renowned golf social media influencer was a guest on Barstool Sports' Foreplay podcast, hosted by Riggs and Trent. During the hour-long conversation, the hosts asked about her experience with DeChambeau. She responded that the golfer pleasantly surprised her by being different from what she had perceived him to be.
"I think that was the one that was most surprising," she said. "Of course you have like Jason Day and Tony Finau and the guys that we mentioned earlier they have that reputation of being such a great nice Family Guy. They're just good people and you meet them and they exceed expectations.
"But with him like I publicly hated on him. And things that you just would saw like you'd see little snips here and there about like what he was saying what he was doing, he was so different, shockingly different," she added.
Earlier, Paige Spiranac had criticized the 2020 US Open champion and taken shots at him. However, after shooting with him last month, she posted on X (formerly Twitter) that he was different from what she had thought of him over the years.
