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.

As great as Scottie Scheffler is playing, it's still a little early for comparisons. And they might be more appropriate with Jack Nicklaus than with Tiger Woods.

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.

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.
