Scottie Scheffler delivered a remarkable performance at Augusta National, clinching his second Masters title in three years with a stellar 4-under 68 in the final round.
Throughout the tournament, Scheffler was on edge, aware that his wife Meredith, who is pregnant, could go into labor at any moment.
He had made plans to exit the tournament immediately to be with her for the birth of their first child if needed. Scheffler managed to secure the win before any such departure was necessary, eager to reunite with his wife after fulfilling his post-round commitments.
He expressed his excitement and affection for Meredith, a sentiment that resonated well with golf enthusiasts.
For his victory, Scheffler received a substantial $3.6 million, part of a $20 million total purse, marking an increase from the $3.24 million awarded to the previous year’s winner, Jon Rahm.
The professional golfer tied the knot with his high school sweetheart in 2020, following four years of maintaining a long-distance relationship while they attended different colleges. Scudder has supported Scheffler from the beginning, although their relationship initially began as a friendship.
