Roy "Tin Cup" McAvoy
Roy “Tin Cup” McAvoy should have been a golf superstar, but lacked the ambition; until he was pissed off by Don Johnson and wanted to beat him at the U.S. Open and land Rene Russo in the process. As always Kevin Costner (McAvoy) plays a fictitious athlete brilliantly and unlike Crash Davis, who had the drive but not the talent, McAvoy was talented but lacked the drive. What stood out the most in this film was his 12 on the 18th hole, where after attempt after attempt he tried to shoot the ball over the water hazard instead of playing it safe. He cost himself a chance at the Open, and hundreds of thousands of dollars in the process, yet it was far more memorable than had he won in a playoff. Could any other golf finish have been more memorable?
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Tin Cup (1996)
Actor:
Kevin Costner
Why you should vote for him:
Just for that 12 on the 18th hole alone.
Why you should not vote for him:
He didn’t win. Actually, on the scorecard, he finished pretty low.
