Carlos Sainz and Justin Thomas win Netflix Cup golf tournament

Could Sainz win another trophy when he races in Las Vegas this weekend?

Carlos Sainz took victory in Las Vegas on the week of the Las Vegas Grand Prix โ€” just not on the track.

Sainz was one of four Formula 1 drivers to take part in the Netflix Cup on Tuesday, a golf tournament at the Wynn Las Vegas that also featured Lando Norris, Alex Albon and Pierre Gasly. They were paired with professional golfers Justin Thomas, Rickie Fowler, Max Homa and Tony Finau, respectively, in a small matchplay tournament airing live on Netflix.

Sainz is one of the better golfers in the Formula 1 paddock, and he proved it by defeating Norris and Fowler in their match play event. Gasly and Finau matched up with Sainz and Thomas after beating Albon and Homa, and the two came down to the wire on a closest to the pin contest before Sainz and Thomas took the win.

Carlos Sainz subsequently broke the trophy that he and Thomas won after the event, something he’ll look to avoid if he manages to get on the podium in Las Vegas when they race on Sunday at midnight.
