Spiranac has often been criticised for her way of dressing and expressing herself on and off the golf course. Yet, the youngster does not take it to heart, and continues to express herself. However, she faces trolls almost daily, and often has to deal with haters. This time was no different, as Spiranac faced problems at the American Century Championship recently. During her latest episode on the podcast ‘Playing A Round’, Spiranac said that an unhinged fan approached her as she warmed up for the final round of the event that took place earlier this month.

The man threatened her as he accused her of scamming him for $10,000. “There was some guy… and he comes up and asks me for a picture, it’s fine at first. And then, he goes into how I scammed him out of $10,000 and he started threatening me. It was a really really scary situation,” said Spiranac according to NY Post.

“As it turns out, this man was scammed by a fake profile that someone created and it had a fake number, he was unhinged. It was a very scary situation, and luckily I had my team there, so I called my agent over and he was trying to handle it.” Even though the man had been given a warning not to approach the golfer, he still did. However, Spiranac was glad that her team and security were there to handle a situation which he has faced many times before as well.
