Justin Thomas recently gave fans a behind-the-scenes glimpse from the set of Happy Gilmore 2, sharing a fun update now that the movie has been released on Netflix. In his post, he jokingly mentioned that while all the golfers did well in the film, Scottie Scheffler once again managed to steal the spotlight.
Happy Gilmore 2 is a golf-themed comedy film starring Adam Sandler, who reprises his role as the main character. The movie also features familiar faces like Julie Bowen and Christopher McDonald, with several professional golfers making cameo appearances — including Thomas, Scheffler, and Rory McIlroy.
