American golf sensation Paige Spiranac, 27, has revealed that she thinks of someone she hates and imagines his or her face on the golf ball which she hits to good effect.

According to British tabloid, The Sun, Spiranac said on an Instagram live session: "People always ask me, 'how do you hit it further?' You can drink a lot of protein, hit the gym, work on your swing...or you can do what I like to do. I visualise the face of the person I hate the most on my ball, and just whack at it. And that's how you hit it further."
