Major flex by Scottie Scheffler.
Scottie Scheffler Brought the Perfect Item to the ‘Happy Gilmore 2’ Premiere originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Life seems to be going pretty well for world No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler.
On Sunday, he dominated at The Open Championship, winning the tournament with a score of 17-under and bringing home a check for $3.1 million. The win has him on track to complete the Grand Slam on his 30th birthday at the 2026 U.S. Open and also has his competitors asking themselves what they can do to even get in the same stratosphere as him.
On Monday, Scheffler got to take a break from golf. Well, kind of. He and dozens of other stars in the sports world were on hand for the premiere of Adam Sandler's "Happy Gilmore 2," the sequel to the 1996 comedic hit that follows the journey of Gilmore as he goes from NHL wannabe to golf prodigy.
Scheffler didn't show up to the premiere empty-handed, as he brought along the Claret Jug, which he was awarded for winning The Open this past weekend.

In a fun-spirited interview with Netflix Sports, Scheffler was asked what he had with him and when he won it.
"The Open Championship trophy," Scheffler said. " The Claret Jug."
The answer regarding when he won the trophy was the biggest flex imaginable as he simply said, "yesterday."
While this is definitely Sandler's film, Scheffler is one of the golfers who has been confirmed to be in it.
According to Fox Sports, notable names such as Justin Thomas, Will Zalatoris, Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka, among others, will be featured in the film.
So in the span of a day, Scheffler went from winning on the biggest stage to being on the big screen. At this point, it may be difficult to find someone who is living it up as much as Scheffler.
