Internet sensation Paige Spiranac overcame some pro-debut jitters to shoot 77 in the first round of the Ladies European Tour’s Dubai Ladies Masters. She is 11 shots off the lead.
Spiranac, who boasts more than 500,000 Twitter and Instagram followers, said that she was so nervous on the eve of her debut that she cried in her hotel room and didn’t want to play.
“So I guess today was pretty good compared to how bad I thought it was going to go last night,” she told reporters.
Spiranac, who is playing on a sponsor exemption, is tied for 94th in the 108-player field.
