One user didn’t appreciate one “cheeky” segment of the clip in which the former collegiate golf champ had her back to the camera.

“Had to start that second shot with your a** on the camera. Real classy Paige,” the X user replied to the post.

Spiranac, who never has been shy about her sexuality and her body, hit right back at the aggrieved fan, saying that she’s “proud” of her body and the hard work she has put in.

“I went from having my back connect to my thighs to this,” Spiranac wrote while posting side-by-side shots of herself to show off her fitness gains.

“It’s not the biggest peach now but I’ve been working harder than I ever have in the gym and also with my diet.

“Heck yeah, I’m going to show it off! I’m proud of my body and how hard I’ve been working to achieve my fitness goals.”

She also responded to another user who told her not to bother with “dopes” like the first user online.

This isn’t the first time that Spiranac has faced criticism for using her good looks to her advantage.

Early in her career, she had to deal with nasty rumours about using sexual favours to get ahead and recently commented on them during an appearance on the Quiet Please! podcast.

Speaking about her time at the Dubai Ladies Masters in 2015, which took place shortly after she had graduated from San Diego State and turned pro, Spiranac — who missed the cut at the tournament after shooting 77 and 79 — said that it “was like the worst moment of (her) life,” and it brings back “brutal” memories.

The blonde bombshell was a rising star on social media at the time, but her reach wasn’t nearly what it is today.

Many believed that her invitation to the prestigious event was well above her level of play and gossip began to emerge from her competitors that she “did sexual favours to get this invite.”

Spiranac told podcast co-hosts Mel Reid — herself a pro on the Ladies European Tour — and golf personality Kira Dixon that she didn’t know at the time how to handle the added attention that the rumours brought upon her.

“I ended up going viral and this was back when people weren’t going viral all the time — and I didn’t know how to handle it and my whole life got flipped upside down,” Spiranac said. “I went from having 500 followers to 100,000 followers.

“I got this invite to play an LET (Ladies European Tournament). I had just turned pro, I had never played golf outside the country. And everyone was like, ‘It’s low key, don’t worry about it. No one is going to know if you play well or not.’

“I show up and was doing hours of press, which I wasn’t prepared for. I had no training to do this. And I would say there were a couple of girls who were really supportive and who were nice, but the majority, it was brutal. I would go on the range and girls would just scatter. No one wanted to hit next to me.

“There were constant comments like ‘I did sexual favours to get this invite,’ and I was listening to it … they would say (it) within earshot of me.

“It was tough. Not knowing what I was doing, it was my first pro event, it was really difficult. I just wanted to be liked and I played so bad. It was horrendous.”
