PGA Tour Sends Touching Message on Scottie Scheffler, Wife Meredith and Son Bennett originally appeared on Athlon Sports. On Sunday at Royal Portrush, Scottie Scheffler reflected on what mattered most as he hoisted the Claret Jug, describing how his first instinct after tapping in on the 18th green was to find his wife Meredith and son Bennett.

Scheffler's father, Scott Scheffler, is from Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey. He was a carpenter and stay-at-home dad throughout Scottie's youth, and he played a role in the star golfer's interest in the sport as a kid, including taking him to the driving range and with Diane, eventually getting Scottie access to Royal Oaks Country Club in Dallas.

It was reminiscent of Canterbury in the 1973 PGA Championship. Jack Nicklaus, who that week broke the record for most major titles, was coming off the 18th green after the second round when 4-year-old son Gary ran out to meet him. The Golden Bear carried off his cub.

To highlight how he deals with fame, Scottie Scheffler told a story of the two Chipotle restaurants that he eats at when he’s home in Dallas.

Scheffler won by four shots Sunday at Royal Portrush, his fourth major victory and first in an Open Championship.
