Her First Tournament
Spiranac finally made it to Dubai. When she arrived, she was so nervous that she puked from all the anxiety. Paige missed the cut, finishing in 101st place out of 107. But though she fell short, her presence at the tournament had an impact no one could’ve ever expected.
Paige created a media frenzy like the tournament had never seen before. TV crews came to the pro-am and press conferences for the first time ever, and the tournament blew up on social media. More importantly, the pro players on the tour realized the exposure Paige brought gave them an opportunity to showcase their skills to a big audience.
