Spiranac on Golf Digest cover irks some within LPGA

DALY CITY, Calif. – Golf Digest features Paige Spiranac on the cover of its May magazine that hit mailboxes this week.

The choice didn’t go unnoticed by LPGA pros teeing it up at the Swinging Skirts Classic. Spiranac, the former college player who has become an Internet sensation with her provocative social media videos and photos, wasn’t among the top 300 players in the NCAA rankings when she played at San Diego State. She sparked some controversy in December when she received a sponsor’s exemption to play the Ladies European Tour’s Omega Dubai Ladies Masters and then missed the cut shooting 77-79.
