Rude Awakening for Rory McIlroy as Daughter of PGA Tour Pro Delivers Verdict on His Acting Debut

Rory McIlroy nearly got roughed up by Becky Lynch. Fortunately, Bryson DeChambeau came to his defence, calling the Irishman “my boy.” This might read absurd to those who haven’t watched Happy Gilmore 2 yet. But those who have would know that McIlroy and DeChambeau were not only each other’s “boys” but also teamed up to help Happy Gilmore save golf. Yet, Shane Lowry’s daughter thought Uncle Rory didn’t do well in the movie.

As the two prepare for the 2025 Amgen Irish Open, Lowry sat down for a press conference preceding the event. During the interview, one of the reporters asked the Irishman what he thought about his good friend’s cameo in Happy Gilmore 2. And Shane recollected the hilarious moment when he watched the movie with his daughter. He told the media, “My daughter watched that the other day and said Rory’s such a bad actor.”

Rory McIlroy didn’t get much time to flaunt his acting prowess in his 2 minute cameo in the movie. But the little time he did get was not as attention-grabbing as some others. His role didn’t really entail much of a story like that of Will Zalatoris or Scottie Scheffler. Apart from Adam Sandler himself, Scheffler and Zalatoris were certainly the highlights of the movie for every golf fan.
