Paige Spiranac provides an update on 'Great Cans' saga, fan's still MIA but others have picked up the slack
The fan left 'great cans' on every post for years but hasn't commented since she mentioned him
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}In March, Paige Spiranac decided it was time to show some love to her biggest fan. He had shown up day in and day out on post after post showing his support for her work.
He left a simple two words that meant the world to the world’s No. 1 golf influencer, "great cans." She wrote at the time, "There is this guy who comments ‘great cans’ on everything I post. In a world full of hate and despair I know he will always be there for me to lift my spirits."

Little did Paige know, but the love she showed for him that day put an end to his incredible streak. A few days after giving her biggest fan the credit he deserved she shared news that she described as "devastating."
He hadn’t sent her a "great cans" message since the day she mentioned him. There are some who will speculate that he got spooked by the mention of his existence.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}I’m choosing to believe, and I truly hope I’m right, that he had one goal in mind when he started his great cans campaign and that was to one day be recognized publicly for his work.
He has simply ridden off into the sunset after receiving the praise from Paige. He didn’t need to be identified by name or anything, what she did was enough. It was a home run in his final at bat.

During a Q&A with her Instagram followers on Monday, Paige was asked for an update on the guy whose legacy lives on through her other fans. Someone wrote, "What happened to great cans guy?"
She confirmed that he’s still missing in action. He hasn’t responded to a post since she mentioned that a fan of hers was consistently leaving the heartwarming comments.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"Ever since I posted that he has not messaged me at all," Paige said. "And it has been absolutely devastating because I was not making fun of him. I actually just thought that it was so funny and I liked it. The consistency was there."

She continued, "He’s disappeared, I don’t know where he is and he hasn’t commented. But you guys have picked up the pieces because I’m getting great cans left and right and I love it."
