Golfer Will Zalatoris opened up about his struggle with the putter while referencing the cult movie Happy Gilmore, especially after his putt performance during The Open Championship at Royal Troon. Zalatoris, with an underwhelming final round to his name, ended up finishing tied for 35th. However, securing a spot at next year’s The Masters alongside his elevated world ranking is bound to put a smile on his face.Zalatoris shared with the world that he has been having an issue with a putter that was changed earlier in the year. To no one’s surprise, he shared that he has been “beating the crap out of” his new putter and was considering an approach put forth by the film’s protagonist, Adam Sandler. The film is known for the odd and outrageous antics the protagonist partook in, and his attempts to get into the professional golfing world. This quote actually highlights the desperation many golfers face when a putter is rather underwhelming and the thought process behind making radical, and laughable, changes to their game. Regardless of the frustrating experience at The Open, Zalatoris still has his gaze set on the remaining part of his season and the continuous grind to improve his game.
