How Golf’s Rising Star Went From ‘Happy Gilmore’ Meme To MAJOR Threat..
Welcome back to Golf District, today on the channel we are going to check out How golf’s rising star went from ‘Happy Gilmore’ meme to major threat + other related news. A little over a year ago, then 24-year-old Will Zalatoris came within a shot of playing off for a green jacket in his Masters debut. It was a breakthrough moment for the American, but one that was ultimately highlighted by comparisons to Happy Gilmore’s teen caddie at the Waterbury Open. The uncanniness might have been good for a laugh — even for Adam Sandler who weighed in on Twitter — but it took some of the attention away from the exceptional talent of the emerging star. Nearly fourteen months down the line and it’s clear that Zalatoris’ game is no joke. He has the potential to become the best player in the world.
Those following the PGA Tour week in, week out, wouldn’t have been surprised to see the 25-year-old run deep at the PGA Championship at Southern Hills. Once again, Zalatoris fell agonizingly short of a major championship, narrowly defeated by Justin Thomas in a three-hole playoff on Monday morning (AEST). On a day when the wind was up and the nerves were jangling, it took a seasoned pro with a proven record under pressure to carve through the field and clinch the Wanamaker Trophy. But Zalatoris wasn’t far off, piecing together a brilliant challenge when the vast majority of the world’s best players couldn't even break par. Zalatoris doesn’t quite have all the tools he needs to dominate the world yet, and those shortcomings were exposed by Thomas in the final round. His accuracy off the tee is a cause for concern while his unsteady stroke over short putts is enough to make even a single-digit handicapper feel yippy. Watch the whole video to know more on How golf’s rising star went from ‘Happy Gilmore’ meme to major threat and other related news.
