Not even a bathroom mishap could deter Scottie Scheffler’s latest victory lap.
When celebrating his second straight Memorial Tournament win on Sunday, the world’s No. 1 golfer was joined by wife Meredith and their infant son, Bennett, on the green at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio, where he shot a 2-under par in the final round for a 10-under overall.
Upon handing Bennett over to Scheffler, cameras picked up Meredith telling the three-time major winner, “He has poop all over his back.”
An unfazed Scheffler replied, “That’ll happen,” as he and his family took in the jubilant scene.
With Sunday’s victory at Muirfield Village, the 28-year-old Scheffler joins Tiger Woods as the only repeat Memorial winners. The 15-time major victor won in 1999, 2000 and 2001.
Scheffler shot three birdies in Sunday’s final round and a bogey on the back nine — something he isn’t scoffing at when navigating the annual Jack Nicklaus-hosted event.
“Only one bogey around this place is pretty good,” Scheffler said. “I hit a lot of fairways. I definitely wasn’t in the rough very much. I think I hit it in the rough off of 10, but outside of that, I don’t think I was really in the rough at all. Around this place, that’s going to be key.”
This was his third victory of the season.
Scheffler got his first win of 2025 at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson in early May. He followed that up by securing his first PGA Championship victory weeks later.
Mererdith and Bennett celebrated with Scheffler at Quail Hollow on May 18 when he held the Wanamaker Trophy for the first time.
Scheffler and Meredith have been married since 2020 and announced Bennett’s birth last May.
