Padraig Harrington and a few of golf’s top players were recently invited to test their skills with a ‘Happy Gilmore Challenge’ at the 2013 Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open.

Here we see Phil Mickelson, Paul Lawrie, Nicolas Colsaerts and other top European Tour golfers as they try their hand at the famous ‘Happy Gilmore’ golf shot…

We’re glad to see Padraig won the little competition and were sure it was all down to the bit of hurling he played as a youth. But sadly, Harrington’s Happy Gilmore skills haven’t boded well for him out on the course as he’s currently sitting tied for 71st position on -3 and looks like he’s going to be cut…

Ah well. Win some, lose some…
