You may have heard of American golfer Paige Spiranac - or at the very least seen her.

The 22-year-old has 500,000 Instagram fans and a video of her performing trick shots on YouTube has been viewed almost two million times.

It was this online presence that saw her controversially invited to make her debut on the elite Ladies European Tour this week, ahead of other up and coming players.

But the San Diego University graduate, where she was a top golfer, didn't help herself at the Omega Dubai Ladies Masters. Rounds of 77 and 79 meant she missed the cut by 12 shots and was a whopping 24 behind midway leader Shanshan Feng.
