Scottie Scheffler: WATCH: Dad duty calls for Scottie Scheffler as he holds son with poop stain after Memorial Tournament 2025 win

Scottie Scheffler clinched his third victory of the season at the Memorial Tournament on Sunday, June 1. After securing a four-stroke win at Muirfield, he went over to the stands to greet his wife, Meredith, and their son, Bennett.

The family celebrated Scheffler's achievement by embracing. As Scheffler picked up his toddler from Meredith's arms, she warned him that his back was stained with poop.

"He has poop all over his back, sorry," she said.

The World No. 1 didn't seem to mind much as he continued holding his son as if nothing had happened.

The ace golfer eventually won the title with a total score of 10-under.

Ben Griffin was the runner-up with a total score of 6-under.
