So it's, it was a really cool time."- he said.

Zalatoris explained how he won the 2015 college showcase, now known as the Genesis Invitational.

This great golfer also added that he laughed when friends compared him to the character from the movie, especially when he had longer hair, which was his signature look when he was just starting out. Zalatoris said he was glad for the comparisons and had to double-check when they were filming the movie, because it was a really cool experience.
The 28-years-old admitted that he had never taken a drama class and didn't know what he was doing, but they told him to act as "moron" as possible.
