The best moments that followed Scottie Scheffler’s Open win | Rogers Report

Hello friends, and happy championship Sunday from Royal Portrush! My first Open Championship was an unforgettable one, and I’m so happy I got to spend the week in Portrush. The Monday after the final men’s major of the year is always tough, but we’re not there quite yet. There’s still a lot to celebrate from Scottie Scheffler’s fourth major victory, so let’s take a look at the very best moments from his win.

Haotong Li’s sweet reaction to Scheffler’s win

The World No. 111 was paired up with the World No. 1 in the final group on Sunday at the Open, and he definitely made the most of it. Li shot a final-round 70 and secured a T-4 finish as well as a new friend.

I’m already looking forward to any Li-Scheffler content we may be blessed with in the future. I also couldn’t help but smile at this photo of Li watching his new friend win the Open Championship.

Competitors and supporters of each other. That’s what it’s all about!

The Scheffler family

At just 14 months old, Bennett Scheffler is very used to being in the winner’s circle. In fact, his resume contends with some other big names in golf.

To the surprise of absolutely no one, Bennett Scheffler’s appearance on the 72nd hole was one of my favorite parts of his dad’s win. He even has a golf club in his hands these days!

Scheffler confirmed that his son is getting into the game in his winning press conference.

“I have a nephew that’s kind of obsessed with golf like I was at a young age,” Scheffler said after his win at Portrush. “I think we were in the backyard at Colonial, maybe earlier than that, it was at my sister’s bachelorette party, so my brother-in-law came and stayed with me with his two kids. Hayes was back there hitting golf ball after golf ball. Bennett loves older kids, so he looked at him and he was like, hey, I want to try that. He started swinging a club back and forth. I put a golf ball down, and he hit it. To be able to occupy a one-year-old with anything is probably a pretty good thing for them to be able to focus on.

“He likes it. He doesn’t know what a golf ball is, but he’s either eating his golf club, or he’s hitting something with it, whether it be a piece of furniture or sometimes other kids. We’re working on it … I hope Bennett’s able to get into golf one day. The game of golf has taught me a tremendous amount. I feel like every day you go out and play golf you’re looking in the mirror, and I’ve met some of my best friends through the game of golf. It’s a very special game. You call penalties on yourself, and it’s just, you learn a lot of good life lessons by playing golf. I hope he can play one day, and I hope he enjoys it as much as I do.”

I will never get tired of the family photos that follow a tournament victory, especially when kids are involved. Congratulations to golf’s first family on yet another win!

Scottie Scheffler checks his notes

As Scottie Scheffler gave his winning speech on Sunday afternoon on the 18th green, he paused to check his notes to make sure he thanked all of the people he intended to.

First off, a very classy move. You can tell this is a guy who knows how to give a winning speech. Second off, I have a few questions. Did he make this list himself, or did an agent help put it together? When did he make this list? Sunday morning? Way earlier in the week? I am desperate to know.
