Paige Spiranac expresses delight as she makes it 3 for 3 with 2024 Major picks
Bryson DeChambeau found success at the just concluded 2024 U.S. Open as he won the competition. After four rounds, DeChambeau scored 6-under to win the event.
While his fans were obviously elated to see him win, a notable figure who was delighted with DeChambeau's triumph was Paige Spiranac. Ahead of the tournament, Spiranac had picked Scottie Scheffler, Bryson DeChambeau, or Colin Morikawa to win the event at Pinehurst No. 2.
Hence, after DeChambeau won the U.S. Open, Spiranac celebrated the fact that her prediction was proved right. She took to X to share her delight:
"In some personal news I’m 3 for 3 with my major outright picks"
With this prediction, Spiranac has gotten three out of three major predictions right this season. It will be interesting to see if the social media influencer is able to keep up her streak heading into the fourth major, The Open Championship, which will take place next month.
