She added: “People seemed to like it when I played bad better than when I actually played well.
“Dubai was an amazing experience but everything, the media and the criticism, just got into my head.
“You blow everything out of proportion and I was like ‘everyone hates me, everyone wants me to fail’. In reality, that really wasn’t the case.
“But I set myself up for a failure because I was reading into everything.
“Nothing will be worse than Dubai. I didn’t think I would get the criticism I got. I felt like it was more of a personal attack on myself. I overreacted. I wasn’t prepared for it. I learned a lot from that so it was probably the best thing that happened to me.”
Paige insists she has now toned down her Instagram selfies in order to get more ‘likes’ on the course.
She said: “Now I’m clear on what I want. And that is to play golf. I stopped a lot of the social media stuff.”
