The golfer-turn-influencer took on the JetFuel Challenge on her YouTube channel where she had 50 balls to attempt to get a hole-in-one.

And on her 49th effort alongside golf instructor Gavin Parker, Paige produced her moment of magic.

The Colorado star played the shot with her bright pink iron while decked out in black leggings, a black top and sunglasses.

As she watched it fly through the air and land on the green before rolling slowly towards the hole via a slight deflection off a pebble, she said getting louder and louder: “Yeah, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.”

Then as the ball eventually dropped into the cup, the bemused and excited star asked: “Did it go in?” before getting the confirmation.

And that prompted wild celebrations on the tee box from Paige and Gavin before they ran down to the hole to retrieve the ball.

Then she let out a scream when she reached the flag and found her ball confirming the fifth hole in one of her life.

Paige shared the video on social media on Thursday, writing: “Golf snobs: ‘She can’t play’. *Makes hole in one on camera*”

But that prompted a wave of responses in the comments suggesting the footage had been edited and “totally manufactured” while another cheekily pointed out she was technically in front of the tee box when she played the shot.

However, after the backlash on social media, Paige went back to clarify the footage was indeed genuine.

The 30-year-old wrote: “A bunch of comments calling my hole-in-one fake.

“It’s real and spectacular.

“But jokes aside anyone in the golf industry knows our careers would be over if we ever faked a hole-in-one video.

“No one would ever be dumb enough to risk that.

“We take pride in showing genuine reactions. The good and bad.”

And plenty of fans then chipped in with their support for the glamorous social media personality.

One said: “Congrats! Wish I got mine on film.

Another wrote: “We know it’s real, and we love it. Congratulations.”

And a third added: “Congrats on your hole-in-one Paige.”
