Instagram golfing model Paige Spiranac likes to be center of attention, especially during Masters week. The IG sensation got what she wanted with the attention, but most of it was pretty negative following her controversial comment. Following Hideki Matsuyama’s historic Masters win, Paige tweeted about next year’s Masters dinner menu.
Masters champs gather every Tuesday night of Masters week for their traditional dinner, and the winner of the Masters from the previous year gets to pick out the menu.
Paige is pumped for the menu:
The menu for the champions dinner is going to be absolute fire next year

Some of her followers weren’t too happy, and called her out for being racist:
RACIST COMMENT: Paige, Thailand has the spicy food. Not Japan. But then they all look alike, right? SHAME ON YOU!!!!! You should apologize to the entire Far East of planet Earth for the sentence you wrote.

Paige clapped back:
Honestly it’s disgusting how everything gets twisted. I made a comment about how amazing the menu will be next year because I love Japanese food. Most winners create menus to honor where they are from and I would expect Hideki to do the same.

I don’t care if someone calls me a slut but to be called a racist is uncalled me. I would never and I’m honestly so upset about this

I think the comment was intended to come off differently, but she should know how Twitter is always ready to pounce.
We’ll have to wait a year to see what Hideki’s menu has to offer. I’m pumped.
