The Dave Portnoy-backed event, which features a collection of 48 of the top YouTube golf creators, started airing this week.<\/p>\n
Paige Spiranac revealed that her partner for the first two matches, Roger Steele, had some \u201cunresolved beef\u201d with Jake Adams as the two were shown in a couple of tense moments at Big Cedar Lodge in Missouri, which hosted the event.<\/p>\n

Steele was shown mocking Adams for misreading a putt and complaining about his competitor giving him a putt \u201cunder his breath.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cRoger and Jake Adams had unresolved beef so Roger was more fired up than normal in that match for good reason,\u201d Spiranac said on X on Thursday night.<\/p>\n
A follower responded that \u201cRoger talked to him like a child the entire time. Kinda disrespectful.\u201d<\/p>\n
Spiranac answered that \u201cRoger was fired up over something Jake did.\u201d<\/p>\n
Spiranac got into the mix a bit when she was shown complaining about how long Adams stood over the ball on one tee box.<\/p>\n

\u201cI literally wasn\u2019t (being a jackass),\u201d Spiranac responded to another commenter. \u201cI made one comment and then apologized on the green. It\u2019s on camera. Then kept complimenting his shots.\u201d<\/p>\n
Spiranac and Steele won the nine-hole, alternate shot match to help their Orange team advance.<\/p>\n
The unique format had the 48 golfers drafted into two 24-player teams with two sets of two-on-two, nine-hole matches.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Steele denied there was any issue between he and Adams.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey didn\u2019t have enough time to show the back and forth between (us),\u201d Steele said. \u201cJake is a homie and our beef is an old joke. It\u2019s just how we talk when we play. I\u2019ll hold the L on that one though.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Orange team prevailed 13 1\/2-10 1\/2. <\/p>\n

There will ultimately be three winners splitting $1 million as the pre-recorded event \u2014 run by Barstool and Bob Does Sports \u2014 will be airing over the next two weeks.<\/p>\n
The Steele-Adams feud wasn\u2019t the only drama from the opening day with influencer Luke Kwon sleeping through his first-round tee time \u2014 drawing the ire of Portnoy \u2014\u00a0and costing his Pink team a crucial point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The $1 million Internet Invitational included some drama in the first day of coverage.
