9-year-old Bella Simoes is attempting to qualify for the US Women's Open in Naples, Florida

Paige Spiranac praised the fast golf player, Bella Simoes, a 9-year-old Brazilian who is attempting to qualify for the US Women's Open in Naples, Florida. Simoes will have stiff competition, as 68 ladies will compete in a 36-hole qualifying round at The Club in Mediterra. Only the top two will advance to the US Women's Open.

If Simoes succeeds, she will be the youngest person to ever qualify for the US Women's Open, shattering the previous record set by 10-year-old Lucy Li in 2013. Paige Spiranac is a leading social media influencer who has played Division 1 golf and knows the ins and outs of golf.

Paige Spiranac praised Simoes' playing style

Recently, Spiranac shared a video on her Twitter handle in which she praised the fast-playing style of Simoes. She captioned the video, "Two cool things about this video. First off she is 9 years old and second is how fast she plays."

Simoes is just 9, yet she is already a three-time US Kids World Champion, with back-to-back victories. Many Twitter users reacted to Paige Spiranac's tweet, praising the young child after she posted a video of herself playing.

'That's an impressive swing for a 9-year old'

Users began commenting on the video after observing it. One commented, "That's an impressive swing for a 9-year-old."

Another person said, "Incredible - 9 years old! A future female golf pro in the making."

A user noticed Simoes only practiced her swing once, although golfers generally need three. "Love it. A lesson for all of us on pace of play. We really don’t need 3 practice swings before every shot."
