Scottie Scheffler Reveals Funniest 'Happy Gilmore 2' Actor Among His Peers
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Scottie Scheffler is one of the many professional golfers appearing in the highly anticipated "Happy Gilmore 2." The film, directed by and starring Adam Sandler, was released last Friday and has stood out for several reasons, particularly its long list of cameos. More than 70 celebrities appear in "Happy Gilmore 2," with golf stars naturally taking center stage. Some players turned more heads than others when it came to acting, with one of them being particularly impressive to Scheffler. "The one I laughed the hardest at, and I actually texted Xander (Schauffele) about this the other day, was Xander's lines in the movie are really, really funny. Him and Rickie (Fowler) did a really good job and so did Will Zalatoris," the World No. 1 said in a recent interview for the "Pardon My Take" podcast. Masters champion Scottie Scheffler of the United States laughs during the Green Jacket Ceremony of the 2023 Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club on April 09, 2023 in Augusta, Georgia. Masters champion Scottie Scheffler of the United States laughs during the Green Jacket Ceremony of the 2023 Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club on April 09, 2023 in Augusta, for himself, Scheffler was far less complimentary about his acting skills. "Maybe like a C-minus, a passing grade. I'd give myself a passing grade, but I'm definitely not going to give myself much more than that. I had a few lines. I mean, it was fun. I'll let y'all watch the movie," he told Pardon My Take. The Ridgewood, New Jersey, native was in New York for the premiere last Monday, just over 24 hours after winning the Open Championship. Jetlag didn't stop Scheffler from enjoying the film, and he even offered a review that turned out to be more in-depth than many would expect. "We watched it on Monday night and I was surprised by how much we enjoyed the movie," he told Pardon My Take. "I mean, it's so hard with comedies to follow up the original, especially when the original is such a classic like that. But they did a really, really good job of, you know, kind of remembering the original movie by having a lot of that stuff in there, like a lot of reminiscing about the old movie while still having like a good storyline for the new one." "And lots of really funny stuff. I mean, I was cracking up. Like a lot of the guys that came in and did their cameos did an amazing job." The list of golf stars who made cameos in the film includes Jack Nicklaus, John Daly, Collin Morikawa, Bryson DeChambeau, Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas and Brooks Koepka. Others who have screen time include Nancy Lopez, Nelly Korda, Charley Hull and Paige Spiranac, among many others. More Golf: PGA Tour pro goes unrecognized in 'undercover' club fitting video

Is Happy Gilmore the best golf movie ever? Let's rank the five best
After a nearly 30-year hiatus, Adam Sandler returns to the golf course in Happy Gilmore 2. After a successful career on the tour, Happy Gilmore is forced into an early retirement due to a tragic accident during a round. The only thing that brings Happy joy now is his kids. When his lone daughter receives a chance to attend an illustrious dance school, Happy must overcome his fears and return to golf to win a lucrative tournament. Happy Gilmore 2 is a pure nostalgia play, but it delivers a solid amount of laughs. While Happy Gilmore 2 might not make the list of the best golf movies, five other films deserve a spot on our list. Check it out below. 5. The Caddy (1953) Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis take their comedy act to the golf course in The Caddy. Harvey Miller (Lewis) is a talented golf pro who can't perform in front of a crowd. Joe Anthony (Martin) is a budding star with an ego problem. Harvey agrees to caddy for Joe, and the result is a disaster. However, Harvey and Joe surprisingly find a second career off the course. Recommended Videos The Caddy focuses more on the relationship between a golfer and caddy than on the performance on the course. It's a showcase for Martin and Lewis to do their thing as a comedic duo. Fun fact: That's Amore appeared for the first time in The Caddy. So when you're hearing it in Rear Window, Moonstruck, and The Garfield Movie, you can thank The Caddy for bringing it into the world. 4. The Short Game (2013) Every parent of a young athlete thinks their kid could be the next Michael Jordan or Serena Williams. For golf parents, everyone hopes they have the next Tiger Woods in their family. The Short Game examines some of the greatest golfers in the world under the age of eight. The documentary begins about six months before the 2012 World Championships, as eight boys and girls prepare for the tournament. On one hand, watching these prodigies excel at a sport that gives so many adults trouble is mesmerizing. On the other hand, you'll quickly see which parents are pushing their kids to the limit. All in all, it's a fascinating look into youth sports. 3. Tin Cup (1996) If I ever decide to rank the greatest actors who play athletes in movies, Kevin Costner has to be a first-round draft pick. Baseball is his specialty, but Costner effectively tees it up on the golf course in Tin Cup. Roy McAvoy (Costner) is the best that almost was. A costly decision ruins Roy's shot at the PGA Tour. Years later, Roy now owns a beat-up driving range in Texas. After being embarrassed by his old rival (Don Johnson), Roy attempts to qualify for the U.S. Open. Along the way, Roy tries to court Dr. Molly Griswold (Rene Russo), the girlfriend of Simms. Tin Cup's strength is the palpable chemistry between Costner and Russo. As a realist, Roy's decision on the last shot still infuriates me to this day. A lesson to all — when you have a chance at qualifying for the U.S. Open, be smart and take the logical route. 2. Happy Gilmore (1996) Happy Gilmore belongs in the top three thanks to its rewatchability, quotability, and impact on golf. How many times have you seen a golfer try to imitate Happy's trademark swing? The limit does not exist. Happy Gilmore (Sandler) loves two things: hockey and his grandmother (Frances Bay). After being cut from the hockey team, Happy must find a way to make money to save his grandmother's house from foreclosure. By chance, Happy discovers he can drive the golf ball longer than the pros, so he begins to hustle people for money. This leads to a tryout on the PGA Tour, which might come to an end due to Happy's temper and wild antics. Happy Gilmore is fun, dumb, and charming. The gags still deliver nearly 30 years later. 1. Caddyshack (1980) Without Caddyshack, there is no Happy Gilmore. The fact that Caddyshack pulled off a slapstick comedy set in the uptight world of golf is a minor miracle. Caddyshack also benefits from having a lineup of comedic greats, including Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, Ted Knight, and Rodney Dangerfield. At the Bushwood Country Club, social status matters. Most of the members are snobs and rich jerks. One of the young caddies, Danny Noonan (Michael O'Keefe), works there to win one of the college scholarships offered at the club by Judge Smails (Knight). Danny forms a friendship with the unorthodox but talented Ty Webb (Chevy Chase). However, the young caddy finds himself in the middle of a feud between Smails and the rambunctious member Al Czervik (Dangerfield). Meanwhile, Carl Spackler (Murray), the club's eccentric greenskeeper, engages in a confrontation with an annoying gopher. With slapstick humor and memorable gags, Caddyshack remains a timeless classic and the best golf movie.

The 27-year-old Jamaican-born performer is slated to appear before the Thames Magistrates' Court on Thursday, Aug. 28 to answer to the charges, People reports. He is currently facing two counts of rape and three counts of sexual assault levied by an accuser who remains unnamed by UK police.

I have cooperated fully with the police throughout their investigation and will continue to cooperate,' Ward said in a statement amid the charges. 'I recognise that proceedings are now ongoing, and I have full faith that they will lead to my name being cleared. Given those proceedings, I am unable to comment further.' Though the allegations against Ward are serious, the deputy chief crown prosecutor for CPS London South, Catherine Baccas, has asked that the public allow the actor his right to a fair trial before rushing to judgment. 'Having carefully reviewed a file of evidence, the Crown Prosecution Service has authorised the Metropolitan police to charge Micheal Ward, 27, with two counts of rape, two counts of assault by penetration, and one count of sexual assault against a woman in January 2023,' said Baccas in a statement. 'We remind all concerned that proceedings against the suspect are active and he has a right to a fair trial.
