Meredith Scheffler turned to one of the two men in her life on the edge of Quail Hollow’s 18th green and told him “you don’t know what just happened…but that’s pretty cool”.

Some day in the not too distant future Bennett Scheffler will know that what his father achieved here on a sun-kissed Sunday was indeed pretty cool. What a third Major before his 29th birthday means for Scottie Scheffler remains to be seen but what was clear in the moment was this meant a lot.
