  WHAT HAPPENED?

  McElhenney was one of many celebrities – including USWNT star Alex Morgan – to put their golf skills to the test at the Farmers Insurance Open Pro-Am. On Tuesday the Wrexham co-owner played 18 holes, nine with world number seven Max Homa and fellow American golfer Sam Ryder. The actor impressed Homa, even if he did ruin his joke.

• WHAT HOMA SAID ABOUT MCELHENNEY

  Asked about McElhenney's swing, Homa said: "I wanted him to hit a bad one because I had a joke in my head and I was going to say 'the Gang gets the shanks' but he hit them all really good and killed my joke. Selfish!"

• THE BIGGER PICTURE

  While a lot of his time is taken up by acting and running Wrexham alongside Ryan Reynolds, McElhenney has been keeping his golf skills sharp. After meeting him at the Pro-Am event, former PGA Tour golfer Gary Christian tweeted about McElhenney: "Got to catch up with the great Rob McElhenney. Passionate about his golf and beloved Wrexham. Truly great, genuine guy who gets what it is to be a fan first and what teams mean to their cities and towns. Tasty golfer as well!"
