Popular golf influencer Paige Spiranac is, of course, very excited about the Masters teeing off this week.
As she revealed last November, her favorite sporting events are the Majors in golf, and specifically, the Masters.
“There’s just something so special about it and every single year I look so forward to watching, sitting down, seeing the golf course. It’s just truly magical for me,” Paige said in a video that went viral.
Hello friends, happy Masters week!

On Monday, Spiranac was back on Twitter, sharing her top five Masters moments and asking her thousands of fans what their favorites are.
“Oh hello, friends. It is that magical time of year and to honor Masters week I thought I would talk about my top five favorite Masters moments,” Paige Spiranac began her latest video.
“Coming in at number five is Greg Norman’s massive meltdown in 1996. He had a six shot lead and ended up shooting a 78, losing by five to Nick Faldo.
“Coming in at number four is 21-year-old Tiger Woods winning by 12 in the 1997 Masters.
“Coming in at number three is the ’05 Masters. Picture this, Tiger Woods misses the green on 16, has a touchy little chip shot. He hits it. It’s slowly rolling towards the hole. It creeps in, he makes it. One of the most memorable shots in golf of all time.
“Coming in at number two is the 1986 Masters. Jack Nicklaus wins at 46-years-old,” Paige continued.
“Coming in strong at number one is the 2019 Masters where Tiger has his epic comeback and he wins.
“I… allergies were acting up real bad that day because I was bawling like a baby.”

Paige then asked her fans for their favorite Masters moments. Here were some of the answers that differed from Spiranac’s picks.
Didn't even play or watch golf back when some of these happened (didn't golf until mid 30s). I have to go with Bubba Watson hooking a gap wedge 40 yards out of a narrow window in the woods to get on the green on the second playoff hole and beat Oosthuizen for the green jacket.

“Ben Crenshaw’s last putt for victory,” another fan replied.
Great list! Being a Canadian my honorable mention would be the 03 playoff win by Mike Weir.

That’s it. Everyone else agreed with her top five.
