Congrats Will! I’m happy for you! Happy’s happy for you! Enjoy it all! <a href="https://t.co/mlfRY2oYmr">pic.twitter.com/mlfRY2oYmr</a>

Sandler once starred as a hockey player-turned-golfer in the classic film Happy Gilmore. Zalatoris bears a resemblance to Gilmore's first caddy, played by actor Jared Van Snellenberg.

Sandler previously made reference to this notion prior to the final round of the 2021 Masters, when Zalatoris was tied for second going into the final day.

Zalatoris ended up finishing solo second and responded to Sandler two days later.
