"I was very conflicted because I got the username Paige Renee because I was being stalked and harassed in college by these girls and so I had to delete my Instagram," she said."It was really bad, they were stalking me on campus." She still uses the Spiranac name when playing golf however, and explained that the extra attention from the group of girls concerned her relationship with a university employee."The strength trainer at the university - I would just be in there all the time,” she added. "I clearly had no interest in him but they thought I did.

I think that's what it ended up being, who knows. Then I deleted that account and went by my middle name so they couldn't find me.

I was really private and only posted golf videos because nobody could make fun of golf videos."Then when we started to grow I didn't know whether to use Paige Renee because I play golf as Paige Spiranac.

It's just continued like that." The golf personality uses the name Paige Renee on Instagram and has amassed 3.3 million followers.
