GOLF beauty Paige Spiranac hit below the belt as she took aim at LIV rebel Phil Mickelson for slamming Sam Ryder’s fashion sense.

Mickelson, 52, slammed Ryder – 19 years his junior – for competing in the Farmers Insurance Open last week wearing maroon joggers.

The choice of trouser left Ryder’s ankles exposed as he played the event – drawing criticism from LIV rebel Mickelson.

Three-time Masters champ Lefty tweeted: “The Tour doesn’t allow shorts but does allow this week’s leader to wear joggers with ankle socks?

“Showing 4 inches of ankle?

“I’m no fashion guy, never will be, but there are some things I won’t ever understand.”

Mickelson’s comments resulted in golf’s No1 influencer, Paige, hitting back and perhaps a little below the belt.

Speaking on her Playing a Round podcast, Paige fumed: “He was showing maybe like an inch of ankle, they weren’t super tight, I thought he looked good.

“But it just shows how incredibly frustrating golf Twitter can be that they were so bothered by Sam Ryder wearing joggers.

“Also, if Phil thinks that’s four inches, I feel sorry for his wife.”

The 29-year-old blonde bombshell also admitted that she didn’t see Mickelson’s tweet first-hand as the golf star has her BLOCKED.

Ryder played well in the event, with the 33-year-old shooting a -9, which was good enough to finish joint-fourth.

Max Homa took home the win with Ryder just four strokes behind.

Mickelson, meanwhile, has been with LIV Golf since last June.

The Saudi-funded competition’s second season is set to start on February 24.
