If Jackie Chan played golf: rated 79, best at nerve

Jackie Chan as a golfer: scouting report

Jackie Chan would be the golfer whose recovery shots end up on every highlight reel. His short game is the best of his shotmaking skills, and it comes from a lifetime of precise, inventive movement. As a boy he trained at the China Drama Academy in Hong Kong, studying Peking opera along with acrobatics and martial arts, and that combination of balance and creativity is exactly what it takes to flop a ball over a bunker from a tight lie.

Nerve is the top mark on his card. He is famous for performing his own stunts, hanging from a speeding bus and sliding down a pole strung with lights in Police Story, and a performer who will try that does not get nervous over a tricky chip. His creativity shows up in his course IQ too. His fight scenes are famous for turning everyday objects like ladders, chairs and umbrellas into tools, and a golfer with that kind of imagination finds escape routes from trees and bunkers that others would not see. His putting and his course IQ are level, both solid.

Driving is the soft spot. He relies on control rather than length off the tee, which makes The Long Course Championship, with its premium on carry distance, his weakest fit. He belongs at The Links Open, where bump and run shots, creative recovery play and nerve in the wind count for more than length. He received an honorary Academy Award in 2016 for a career that stretches from Drunken Master to Rush Hour, and he has always built his films around his own stunt team. Draft him as a scrambling specialist in the middle rounds and pair him with a long hitter.
