Scheffler said he intends to leave for home in Texas later on Sunday and “celebrate with the people that have helped me along the way”.<\/p>\n
After he tapped in on the 18th an hour or so earlier – and the crowds offered their throaty approval – the first person he looked for was wife Meredith.<\/p>\n
Belatedly spotting her, and 14-month-old son Bennett, who was toddling on to the green, Scheffler’s typically muted response changed. <\/p>\n
He hurled his hat into the sky, roared with delight, and lumbered with arms outstretched towards them.<\/p>\n
The trio embraced before Scheffler retrieved his hat and left the green with a bemused Bennett nestled in the crook of his left arm.<\/p>\n
“When I saw my family, that was a pretty special feeling,” said Scheffler, who insisted earlier in the week that he would quit golf if it started to impact upon his family.<\/p>\n
“It’s one that’s very hard to describe. It’s something I’m very grateful for and something that I’ll hold on to for a long time.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Scheffler said he intends to leave for home in Texas later on Sunday and “celebrate with the people…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11873,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[5904,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-23156","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23156","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23156"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23156\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11873"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23156"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23156"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23156"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
