Scholarship
With interest from many top college programs, Spiranac ultimately decided to accept a scholarship to the University of Arizona. Coming from a small town in Colorado, attending Arizona was a big culture shock for the golfer. Being a golfer and home-school student, she’d never really spent a lot of time with people her own age.
During her freshman year, Spiranac only competed in three different events. Her best score of the year was a 73, which she reached twice in a single tournament. But Arizona didn’t feel right. She says she became the victim of “mean girl stuff,” claiming other female athletes had spread some nasty rumors about her.
