Scottie Scheffler celebrates Memorial win with newborn son and wife Meredith in emotional scenes after ANOTHER PGA Tour triumph as……..

Scottie Scheffler was greeted on the 18th green by wife Meredith and their baby son Bennett, with the World No 1 recording his first victory since becoming a father.

In emotional scenes, Meredith handed Bennett to Scheffler and said: ‘We are so proud of you! So proud of you! Say ‘way to go Daddy, I love you!’. I’m so proud of you!’ 

The World No 1’s family were waiting for him as he recorded a one-shot victory over Collin Morikawa, despite shooting a two-over par round of 74 on Sunday. 

It’s Scheffler’s fifth PGA Tour win this year, all since the beginning of March. The tournaments he’s won are a sampling of the most prestigious on the PGA Tour: the Masters, the Players Championship and three signature events.

Wife Meredith was absent from the Masters and RBC Heritage wins because of how heavily pregnant she was. Scheffler said he would have quit either tournament to be by her side if she had gone into labour while he was competing.

The 27-year-old Texan will be one of the favorites at the U.S. Open this coming week at Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina.
