The Colorado duo spent plenty of time together as youngsters on the fairways and the model has plenty to say about the current Masters star
Paige Spiranac knew that Wyndham Clark would make it on the professional golf scene after spending plenty of time together as youngsters.
The former golfer turned model and social media influencer will be tuning in as her fellow Colorado native takes on the Masters this week. The American will tee off at Augusta National with a chance to win another major title to add to his 2023 US Open trophy.
Spiranac will likely tune into the coverage after revealing her close connection with the 32-year-old in a documentary. The 33-year-old appeared on the third season of Netflix’s ‘Full Swing’ and discussed her history with Clark, who she played golf with at a junior level.

Spiranac said: “So I remember Wyndham when he was this tall [gestures a short height].
“Full of braces. Most people don’t know this, we’re both from Colorado. We grew up playing junior golf together, and now we’re here.”
The American model believed that Clark was always destined for success, even when he was still in Colorado. She added: “He was always going to be one of the best.
“Now he has to deal with all the pressure of people looking at him and having to compete week in, week out and being one of the top guys.”
Reflecting on their close bond as kids, Spiranac said: “Wyndham Clark and I grew up playing junior golf together in Colorado. Everyone would always say he had something special and we all knew he’d make it.
“Now he’s a major winner! Very cool moment.”
Despite being known more as a social media star and model, Spiranac once played golf professionally. The 33-year-old competed on the Cactus Tour before transitioning to the influencer life.
The pair were both raised in Colorado, with Clark residing in Denver and Spiranac in Wheat Ridge. They initially crossed paths playing junior golf before going off to have very different careers in sport.
