Scottie Scheffler bringing his 1-year-old son to sign scorecard might be the most adorable moment in PGA Championship history
After a week of golf fans complaining about the course and the leaderboard, it was hard to find anything wrong with what happened on Sunday at the PGA Championship. At one point, three of the best players in the world were battling it out on the back nine. Before the best player in the world took over yet again to claim his third career major.
But Scottie Scheffler also gave us something else after capping a brilliant five-shot win at Quail Hollow. He—and his one-year-old son, Bennett—combined to create arguably the most adorable scene in PGA Championship history.
As those watching saw, Scottie took Bennett from his wife's arms after walking off the 18th green. And then he carried the little dude into the scorer's area with him to sign his scorecard.
But before signign that thing—and as golf fans are well aware, you've always got to be careful doing that!—Scottie placed Bennett on the floor. And appeared to give him his yardage book to play with—along with his hat and the 18th hole flagstick—while he sat down with playing partner Alex Noren. Have a look:
Aww. Juggling a kid while you try to work. Tour pros are just like us, huh? (Sort of.)
Bennett has been on hand for several of Scottie's PGA Tour victories in the past 12 months, but this is the first major win he's witnessed. Based on what we saw on that back nine today, it won't be his last.
