Will Zalatoris didn’t win the Masters on Sunday but he did have a life-changing weekend at Augusta National, and it included a tweet from Adam Sandler, who noticed that Zalatoris looked like Happy Gilmore’s caddie.
Zalatoris, who doesn’t have full status on the PGA Tour yet in his young career, finished in second on Sunday, a stroke behind the winner, Hideki Matsuyama.
The 24 year old now has a second place finish in the Masters and a T-6 finish at last year’s U.S. Open. He also pocketed over $1.2 million bucks with his finish on Sunday.
He also looks just like the character who caddied for Happy Gilmore in that classic Sandler movie.
Sandler tweeted this awesome message before Zalatoris’ round began on Sunday:
Have fun today young man. Mr. Gilmore is watching you and very proud. pic.twitter.com/iwOEuMdR8W

Zalatoris responded to that Sunday night:
If you’re ever in need of a caddie again let me know. I’ll be better this time. I’m always available for you, Mr. Gilmore. https://t.co/R1e8awZIvh
