Welcome to the Monday Leaderboard, the place we run down the weekends prime tales within the fantastic world of golf. Seize an Arnold Palmer, pull up a chair and tune in to the flick thats received the golf world speaking

Completely happy Gilmore 2 premiered on Netflix this previous weekend with a advertising assault to rival a blockbuster superhero film. (You will get Completely happy Gilmore 2 cups at Subway, and you probably have a spare $500, a Completely happy Gilmore 2 hockey stick putter from Odyssey.) Very like a meal at Subway, you recognize precisely what youll get from this film: jokes recycled from the primary film, Adam Sandlers incandescent rage performed for laughs, and cameos. So, so many cameos, together with most of the largest names within the golf world.

Effectively go away the movie assessment to Rotten Tomatoes; right here, effectively simply inform you which golfers acquitted themselves finest within the movie. (Potential spoilers for the film under, FYI.) The highest of the listing in all probability wont shock you:

1. John Daly. Hes within the film a lot that it doesnt actually qualify as a cameo, and he performs the hand-sanitizer-swilling, wing-eating position of John Daly to perfection. Hes been coaching his entire life for this! Might he get a Finest Supporting Actor nomination?

1. Scottie Scheffler: Makes enjoyable of his notorious Louisville arrest, and delivers some sturdy dry-heat one-liners.

2. Xander Schauffele: Dude has actual comedic timing and an ideal facial features for his (too-brief) look. Wouldve been a straightforward #1 if he had Schefflers display screen time.

3. Will Zalatoris: An actual-world joke off the primary film (Happys younger blond curly-haired caddy grew as much as be Will Zalatoris!) will get canonized right here, with Zalatoris trashing Completely happy all through their spherical. (Zalatoris was not really that caddy.)

4. Collin Morikawa: His disbelief that Completely happy would attempt to play with out a caddy hits somewhat in a different way now. Talking of getting hit, he solutions the query fairly definitively of what would occur if a soccer participant collided with a golfer.

5. Jack Nicklaus: Easy. So clean in his supply he makes you assume Completely happy Gilmore did really play within the Nineties. Will get off a good old-school Arnold Palmer joke with Travis Kelce, which is a bizarre sentence to kind.

6. Bryson DeChambeau: Some stable bodily comedy when he takes a shot proper to the ol Titleists. Additionally a wierd scene with Rory McIlroy that reads very in a different way relying on whether or not it was filmed earlier than or after Pinehurst.

7. Nelly Korda: Triggers Shooter McGavin with a devilish line of questioning. Strong cameo.

8. Jordan Spieth: Maybe somewhat too plausible as a snide nation membership golfer berating the assistance.

9. Charley Hull: Cant beat a cameo as a weirdo muni golf attendant.

10. Fred {Couples}, Lee Trevino, Nick Faldo: You get the sense that the filmmakers simply turned the digital camera on these guys and didnt even inform them they had been making a film, simply allow them to banter. Which isn’t in any respect an insult.

11. Tony Finau, Justin Thomas, Bubba Watson, Nancy Lopez: Temporary talking components, no person embarrassed themselves. JT covertly filming Completely happy on his cell and Bubba trashing the brand new golf league thats the central plot level of the film had been intriguing.

12. Brooks Koepka, Rory McIlroy, Rickie Fowler: If these guys had been as stiff on their swings as they’re in entrance of a digital camera, theyd by no means have mixed for 10 majors (and a Gamers). Loosen up, dudes!

Additionally this weekend in golf:

Twenty-one-year-old Lottie Woad left about $600,000 in potential winnings on the desk this summer time due to her newbie standing. She turned professional this month, and instantly set about torching your complete area.

Brett White completed out his match on the Commissionaires Ottawa Open within the best of the way: a 63-foot monster of a putt that gave him a 59 on the day:

Though White ended the day 11 strokes off the successful rating, that certainly made for a pleasant journey residence. Unusually sufficient, it wasnt the one 59 of the match; Philip Barbaree, who made headlines for his gutsy on-the-cut-line efficiency on the U.S. Open, additionally had a 59 on Saturday. Pleasant golf programs up there in Ottawa.
