Netflix announced the sequel to the 1996 sports comedy “Happy Gilmore,” starring Adam Sandler — but Julie Bowen figured her role as Virginia Venit, Happy’s love interest, had long since been retired to the clubhouse.

The “Modern Family” star played Virginia Venit in the first film, the PR director for the golf tour Happy Gilmore joins, who helps him shape up his image. The two eventually fall for each other and in the sequel have a family, though Bowen noted that her appearance in the new one is brief.

"I mean, who am I supposed to be? He's got to have a younger woman in this one, ‘Happy Gilmore 2.'" In the 1996 original, Bowen played Virginia Venit, a rep for the professional golf tour Happy joins.
