If you were watching The Masters and couldn’t help but think Will Zalatoris shared a resemblance with a popular golf movie character, you weren’t alone.

Actor/comedian Adam Sandler noticed and tweeted a side-by-side photo of Zalatoris, who finished runner-up in the tournament by one shot behind Hideki Matsuyama, and an image of the young caddie from his 1990s mega-hit comedy film, Happy Gilmore.

Sandler’s tweet came Sunday afternoon just before Zalatoris played his final round. While the green jacket eluded him, the 24-year-old showcased his sense of humor with his own funny reply to Sandler’s tweet.

It’s also not the first time Zalatoris has heard doppleganger references before. He has also heard he looks like actor Owen Wilson in addition to the caddie from Happy Gilmore.
