Instagram star Paige Spiranac misses cut in pro debut; vows break from social media

It was a long week of questions and concerns for Paige Spiranac off the course, but it was a short week on the links for the 22-year-old.

Spiranac fired rounds of 77 and 79 to miss the cut by several shots at the Ladies European Tour's Omega Dubai Ladies Masters on Friday. She only beat three players for the week in Dubai and was 22 shots worse than leader Shanshan Feng.

Why is an aspiring pro's (predictably) rocky debut consequential? Well, Spiranac's rise to golfing fame has been unconventional, as the recent San Diego State grad has earned a large following in the sport via her social media presence.
