GOLF influencer Paige Spiranac broke down in tears after being accused of cheating at the Internet Invitational.
During the final match of the $1million tournament at Big Cedar Lodge in Missouri, the 32-year-old appeared to press down on some long grass in a perceived attempt to improve the lie for team-mate Malosi Togisala.
Peter Finch was quick to spot the effort but did not discuss it with Spiranac until her team lost the round.
The social media star then responded: “I thought you could do that…
“I didn’t realise that you couldn’t do that. I didn’t think I improved… I didn’t move the ball.”
After being told that she couldn’t tamper with the grass, she became tearful and insisted: “I wasn’t trying to cheat. I would never do that!

“I just don’t want people to think that I would try to cheat.”
One of her opponents then went on to add: “We’re not pressing it. It’s all good. It’s fine. It’s not an issue.”
Spiranac, meanwhile, stepped away from the group on the last green.
She finished the tournament on the losing side, while the others split the $1m prize.
