Masters champion Scottie Scheffler believes he is “extremely prepared” to challenge for back-to-back major titles in the 106th US PGA Championship after becoming a father for the first time.

Scheffler’s wife Meredith gave birth to son Bennett last week as the world number one was sitting out the Wells Fargo Championship won by Rory McIlroy.
