Paige Spiranac makes thecut in her second ever Ladies European Tour event but finishes 20 shots off Scottish Open winner

GOLF stunner Paige Spiranac proved she was not just at the Scottish Open to make up the numbers after firing herself into the final round – but she finished 20 shots off the eventual winner.

The 23-year-old star hit scores of 76 and 75 in the first two rounds of the tournament at Dundonald Links, her second ever Ladies European Tour competition.

Despite hitting a 74 on Sunday, she was way off winner Isabelle Boineau, who triumphed with an overall score of -11.

Social media sensation Spiranac – who boasts more than 710,000 Instagram followers – won her first professional title, a Cactus Tour event at the Orange Tree Golf Resort in the US, last month.

But the blonde beauty was controversially invited to play against the world’s biggest stars at the Omega Dubai Ladies Masters in the UAE last year after her web appeal allowed her to jump ahead of other less eye-catching golfers, and she failed to make the cut.

The female golfer was delighted to redeem herself this time around to book her place in Sunday’s final round.

She tweeted: “Made the cut in my second @LETgolf event at the @AberdeenLSO. Excited to play the final round at @DundonaldLinks”

Spiranac has amassed hundreds of thousands of fans on social media after posting numerous pictures of herself in scantily-clad attire, as well as videos and pictures of her playing golf.

After making the cut at the Ladies Scottish Open, she said: “I’ve been working really hard on my game so it was great to make the cut.

“I still have a lot of work to go, but this is a good start and a step in the right direction.”

Spiranac finished the tournament with a score of +9, tying in 58th position.

The star also admitted during the tournament she was keen to come to Europe to improve her game.

She said: "Since Dubai, I’ve been approached to play in other events but I’ve turned every invitation down.

"I wasn’t ready but this was too good an opportunity to miss. Everybody says ‘go to Europe and learn’.

"I really want to get on the Ladies European Tour because this is where I’ll improve my all round game."

This comes just days after Spiranac was put through her paces by Gary Player at the GP Invitational as they performed sit ups and push ups together.

She fulfilled one of her childhood dreams by playing alongside the sporting legend at the 2016 Gary Player Invitational at Wentworth, and she went one better by working out with the 80-year-old star.
