Paige Spiranac reveals shocking benefit to wearing less clothes to play golf
Golf influencer Paige Spiranac has revealed a surprising benefit to wearing less clothing on the course, after playing like 's***' during a recent outing. The former LPGA hopeful has racked up four million followers on Instagram as she's become known for her revealing outfits. But she was more conservatively dressed during a recent trip the course, as she wore a buttoned-up polo shirt and shorts. And after she performed below her best in the outfit, she offered some advice to her fans. 'If you've been following me for awhile you know I have this working theory that I play better when I wear less clothes,' she wrote on X above a photo of her in the polo. 'Can confirm that science is right once again. I played like [poop emoji] today.' The social media sensation is known for her more revealing outfits on the golf course The post drew plenty of humorous replies from Spiranac's fans as they teased the blonde social media star. 'Sorry to hear that,' one wrote on X. 'If this is true then I have an idea,' another said. And a third said: 'I didn't even recognize it was you. lolol.' The lighthearted post comes after Spiranac announced some big news in May. The golf influencer, who failed to make it on the LPGA Tour, told fans that she'd be taking her golf knowledge to the Grass League - the first high-stakes par 3 golf league - where she will look to translate her social media success to the front office.

Savannah Chrisley teases huge new collaboration with the Trumps after controversial pardon
Savannah Chrisley has revealed that her parents, Todd Chrisley and Julie Chrisley, will be giving their first interview to Lara Trump following their controversial pardon from president Donald Trump last month. The television personality, 27, also confirmed that she has joined her mom and dad for the on-screen interview – which is scheduled to air on Fox News – as well as her brother Grayson Chrisley, 19. Addressing her followers in a video uploaded to Instagram, Savannah said: 'Alright all, we are ready to go. 'We're going to do the Lara Trump Show, and I am so excited. Mom and dad are going to be on and here we go.' In a separate post, Savannah shared a picture from the green room which revealed cans of diet coke laid out on a table. 'Diet coke = filming with the Trumps,' she captioned the snap. President Trump is a well-known consumer of Coca-Cola products and even installed a special button in the White House during his first term that would have the beverage promptly delivered to him. Ahead of the interview, Lara also teased the exclusive chat in a post uploaded to her Instagram profile. In the brief clip, she revealed that her son, Luke, had made beaded bracelets for her to wear on the show. 'When your son makes you a bracelet and asks "can you wear it on @foxnews?" You wear it for your interview with @savannahchrisley @toddchrisley @juliechrisley & @graysonchrisley,' she captioned the upload. She added that the interview will air on Fox News on Saturday, June 28 at 9pm. Lara, who is married to Eric Trump, kicked off her new show My View with Lara Trump on the Fox News Channel in February. The 42-year-old wed her husband – who is the third child and second son of president Trump - in 2014 and are parents to two children: Luke and Carolina. Some fans were quick to express their anticipation for Lara's special segment with the Chrisleys. 'Can't wait for this interview!' one enthused. Another agreed, adding: 'So ready to see this interview! The bracelet is awesome. He could have a side business. We would all buy them. So sweet!' Savannah's parents Julie and Todd - best known for their reality show Chrisley Knows Best and its spin-offs - were convicted in 2022 of defrauding banks out of $30 million. Julie, 52, had been serving her seven-year prison sentence in Kentucky, while her husband Todd, 56, was serving his 12-year sentence in Florida. They couple were pardoned by Trump last month. Savannah played an instrumental role in her getting her parents a presidential pardon. Speaking at a press conference alongside her dad on May 30, she said she was 'relentless' in her mission to get her parents out. 'The biggest misconception right now is I either paid for a pardon or slept for a pardon,' Savannah told press. 'If people knew the countless hours, the money, and the time that I spent doing to [Washington] DC, with not a meeting scheduled, and got on a plane and said, "I'm going to be in the right room at the right time and meet the right people.'' She continued: 'I have fought hard and I was exhausted and I begged for meetings. 'I was never too good to ask and that's the thing. 'People think, you're a celebrity, you're white, you have money, that we got an upper hand, but we didn't. I had to fight, and I was relentless, and that's how it happened.'

Oklahoma City Thunder wins NBA Championship with Game 7 victory as Tyrese Haliburton injury crushes Indiana Pacers
The Oklahoma City Thunder have been crowned NBA champions after finally seeing off the Indiana Pacers in Game 7 on Sunday night. Led by MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the Thunder secured the franchise's second-ever championship with a 103-91 win on their own court to wrap up a 4-3 series success. The Pacers were stunned by the loss of their star player Tyrese Haliburton at the end of the first quarter. He suffered an Achilles injury and left the court in tears. A spirited Pacers team did their best to compete without their main man, powered by a sensational performance from T.J. McConnell, but it was not enough to deny the Thunder. Gilgeous-Alexander, who was named Finals MVP, scored 29 points and got 12 assists while Jalen Williams scored 20 and Chet Holmgren had 18 for the Thunder, who were pushed to the brink but finished off a season for the ages. Oklahoma City won 84 games between the regular season and the playoffs, tying the 1996-97 Chicago Bulls for third-most in any season. It's the second championship for the franchise. The Seattle SuperSonics won the NBA title in 1979; the team was moved to Oklahoma City in 2008. The Pacers led 48-47 at the half even after losing star guard Haliburton to what his father said was an Achilles tendon injury about seven minutes into the game. But they were outscored 34-20 in the third quarter as the Thunder built a 13-point lead and began to run away. Bennedict Mathurin had 24 points and 13 rebounds for Indiana, which still is waiting for its first NBA title. The Pacers - who were 10-15 after 25 games and were bidding to be the first team in NBA history to turn that bad of a start into a championship - had leads of 1-0 and 2-1 in the series, but they simply didn't have enough in the end. Home teams are now 16-4 in NBA Finals Game 7s and the Thunder became the seventh champion in the last seven seasons, a run of parity like none other in NBA history. Gilgeous-Alexander became just the fourth player in NBA history to win MVP, Finals MVP, a scoring title and play for a champion in the same season. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar did it once, Michael Jordan then did it four times, and Shaquille O´Neal was the last entrant into that fraternity - until now. 'A lot of hard work, a lot of hours in the gym,' Gilgeous-Alexander said. 'This isn't just a win for me. This is a win for my family. This is a win for my friends. This is a win for everybody that was in my corner growing up. This is a win for the fans, the best fans in the world.'
