By Vishnu Mohan Modified 06 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Omega Dubai Moonlight Classic - Day One (Image Tom Dulat/Getty Images) Paige Spiranac quit professional golf early in her career. Having emerged as a prominent golfer during her early days, Spiranac decided to hang up her boots from competitive golf due to the pressure. However, she did have a good run in her time and this led to her having some interesting stories to tell. Spiranac is currently one of the most followed personalities in the golf world. She is better known as a social media sensation than a former golfer. Despite being a non-professional, she remains one of the biggest voices in the sport thanks to her Playing A Round podcast. View this post on Instagram Instagram Post Paige Spiranac often shares her personal stories along with opinions on her podcast. She often talks about her own career when speaking about others as well. Recently, in one such incident, Spiranac revealed that she once cheated during a golf match, which led to her mother's being angry at her. The golfer-turned-influencer discussed the controversy surrounding Patrick Reed at the Farmers Insurance Open in 2021 on her podcast. Spiranac shed light on the backstory of Reed's being cleared of any wrongdoing in the incident. Speaking about the controversy that sparked a big debate, Spiranac said that she also bent the rules herself in her playing days. Spiranac, who was a star on the amateur circuit from a young age, said that she once cheated while on the pitch. The Ladies European Tour winner said that she cheated by replacing the ball while in the water and taking advantage of the same. However, she added that her mother threatened to ban her from playing golf if she ever cheated again. Spiranac said that she never attempted any foul play on the pitch due to fear of her mother. Opening up about her cheating incident, Paige Spiranac said: "I cheated myself once, and I learned my lesson the very hard way. It was one of my very first tournaments, I ended up hitting a ball in the water but I was on a very steep slope. I just ended up dropping another ball and saying I found it… I played it off and my mom, who packed my golf bag the night before, said 'hey you started the round with six balls how do you only have five?'” Spiranac then went on to add that she "learned her lesson" by realizing how angry her mother had become to learn about the foul. She added: “She (mother) is one of the sweetest ladies ever but she is scary, you do not want to disappoint her. She just gave me this look and she said 'if you ever do that again, if I ever catch you cheating, you will never play golf ever again.' I was like 'OK' and I learned my lesson."
