Paige Spiranac rips into Zach Johnson after telling Masters patrons to 'f*** off'
Social media sensation Paige Spiranac hits out at Zach Johnson's actions at The Masters.
Paige Spiranac has labelled Zach Johnson 'softer than baby poop' after he told the patrons to 'f*** off' at The Masters.
Johnson, 48, was caught on camera saying 'f*** off' in the direction of patrons who cheered his triple-bogey six on the 12th, only to then deny the accusation to a reporter after the second round of The Masters.
The two-time major champion has been criticised by a number of American golf fans in recent times for the way he went about his captaincy of the losing United States Ryder Cup team at Marco Simone in Rome last September.
Johnson was filmed getting hot under the collar with a few PGA Tour fans heckling him about the 2023 Ryder Cup during the WM Phoenix Open earlier this season.

- Zach Johnson tells patrons to 'f off' then completely denies it ever happened!
A similar scenario played out at The Masters on day two when Johnson sent his tee shot into a bush on the iconic par-3 12th.
Johnson made a complete mess of the hole and eventually tapped in for a triple-bogey six.
As the ball went down, patrons back over on the tee some 150 yards away were clapping sarcastically and cheering his efforts.
That clearly did not sit well with Johnson, who visibly turned to the patrons and shouted 'f*** off'.
After watching it all play out on the 12th, social media sensation Spiranac took to X / Twitter to come down hard on Johnson.
Spiranac tweeted: "The patrons at Augusta are unbelievably supportive and mild mannered. You can’t find a more pleasant environment to play golf in. The fact ZJ said this proves he’s softer than baby poop. Such a bad look."
