Happy Gilmore:
Zalatoris, 24, had quite the weekend for himself, finishing a stroke behind Hideki Matsuyama for the Green Jacket, banking more than a million dollars in the process.
If you’ve seen pro golfer Will Zalatoris in the past, you might recognize him from the silver screen (kind of); Zalatoris bears a striking resemblance to actor Jared Van Snellenberg, who portrayed one of Happy Gilmore’s caddies in the eponymous 1996 comedy golf film.
Putting:
Putting has never been the power of Will Zalatoris’ game. In three years at the pro level, he has ranked no more than 90th in either average or strokes received: putting.
In 25 PGA Tour runs starting in 2021, Zalatoris has actually lost strokes to field putting, good for 123rd place on the Tour. In short, Zalatoris has not been a good putter. He knew this. But he didn’t even think he was that bad.
“It kind of got in my dome,” he told GOLF.com during a promotional event for Gilette’s ’72 Club.’ “I was hitting some of these putts and I’m like, ‘I didn’t pull that. It was literally a solid putt.’ I couldn’t figure it out.”
