@Source: newsweek.com
On Sunday, Scottie Scheffler defended his title at The Memorial to join Tiger Woods as the only other player to do so at Muirfield Village.He defeated Ben Griffin by four shots to earn his 16th PGA Tour victory and second of the season.CBS Sports' Amanda Balionis asked him about the emotional win and getting to shake Jack Nicklaus' hand for a second straight year. However, her asking about his wife, Meredith, and her support and impact on his career got him emotional."You're really trying to make me emotional," Scheffler told Balionis.Then, in a not-so-typical Scheffler moment, he got choked up as he expressed himself."My wife is my biggest supporter," he said, fighting back tears. "She's my best friend and...you know, this is our life here on the road. We have had some special memories at this tournament. I definitely couldn't do it without her."Balionis subtly compared him and Meredith to Jack and Barbara Nicklaus. She explained how important she was to the Golden Bear's career and made the connection with what seems to be the next power couple, the Schefflers.When Scheffler wins, Meredith embraces him, and their love shines through the camera. Now they have their son Bennett, who continues to steal the spotlight from his dad.It happened after his PGA Championship win, and again at The Memorial, as Scheffler switched to dad mode even with media obligations.The three-time major champion rarely shows emotions, but Scheffler could not help himself when talking about his little family.The Schefflers continue to steal the hearts of golf fans, and this small quote shows how much it means to the No. 1 ranked golfer to have them there.These players depend on wins for a long career, but their support systems are equally important, and Scheffler seems to have a great one.More Golf: The Memorial: $20 Million Payout to PGA Tour Stars Revealed
