After winning the PGA Championship May 18, Scottie Scheffler collected his son, Bennett, from wife Meredith and carried the 1-year-old past cheering fans toward the scoring area.
Bennett won’t remember a thing about his dad winning his third major championship, so “We’ll have to show him those videos later in life,” Scheffler said. “Because he definitely doesn’t have any idea what’s going on.”
