Paige Spiranac continues her indignation towards Rory McIlroy before US PGA

Paige Spiranac has kept true to her word and is avoiding backing Rory McIlroy for the 2023 PGA Championship at Oak Hill. 

Earlier in the week McIlroy revealed he was done talking about LIV Golf and Paige is also done. Done picking the Ulsterman to win a major championship, that is. 

Paige revealed her thoughts on who she thinks has a good chance to lift the Wanamaker in New York in her latest video that was posted to her Twitter profile. 

She is putting the majority of her cash on Xander Schauffele. Throughout his career X-Man has flattered to deceive but now she believes the 29-year-old will finally make his big breakthrough. 

Paige doesn't see a lot of cons in picking Jon Rahm either (shock), but there isn't great value in the Spanish World No. 1. 

"He is the favourite here and for good reason," Paige said. Oak Hill is an absolute beast of a course and the conditions are likely to be cold and windy. 

Translation? It will be a course that rewards ball striking. So step up, Scottie Scheffler

Paige said: 

"Scottie knows how to hit a golf ball, but can he putt? That's the only thing holding him back from winning this major championship." 

Paige singled out Schauffele. "I'm actually surprised that he hasn't won a major yet," she said.

And although she reckons the course sets up perfectly for 34-year-old McIlroy, she's still not convinced he will win this week. 

"I am done picking Rory because it always burns me in the end." Paige is also avoiding Viktor Hovland

"I pull for Viktor Hovland all the time [but] it's just like Rory. I will pick him, think he's gonna get it done and then he doesn't. So, just like Rory, I am not picking him again." 

Another man to keep your eye on is Brooks Koepka. "And for good reason," Paige said, before stating that she reckons Adam Scott is 'a bit of a gamble' despite having the game to win major championships. 

GolfMagic have already made their Fantasy predictions for Oak Hill.
