Scottie Scheffler once again took the bull by the horns on Sunday at the 50th edition of The Memorial Tournament. The World No. 1 shot under par for the fourth straight round at an extremely difficult Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio. That culminated in a four-shot victory over Ben Griffin.With the win, Scheffler joined Tiger Woods as the only players to go back-to-back at The Memorial. Maybe more impressively, the Ridgewood, New Jersey native made other PGA Tour history.Sunday marked Scheffler's 16th PGA Tour victory. Only Sam Snead, Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods needed less time between their first and 16th PGA Tour wins.Among all of the memorable images following Scheffler's victory, it was his one-year-old son, Bennett, who stole the show.As Scheffler's wife, Meredith, handed him his son to hold, an image of the three of them went viral.Within the first few hours of golf journalist Kyle Porter's tweet going up, it had more than a million views. Why? Take a look at Bennett's back side. Scheffler's adorable son had a giant poop stain on the back of his onesie.Every parent knows that comes with the territory. It is one thing to manage your infant's bowels, and another to always keep them from making a mess. But the world's best golfer, being the loving and amazing father that he is, does not seem to notice, or care if he did.One year ago, Scheffler had just won his first tournament following his son's birth. Here we are a year later, and Scottie is celebrating his eighth since Bennett was born.The level of consistency Scottie Scheffler has displayed is monumental. Even the great Jack Nicklaus was in awe of his level of play after Sunday's victory."He's playing better than I played and more consistent," Nicklaus said. "He's just been playing fantastic, and I love watching him play. Whether it's here or on the television or whatever it is, I love to watch. Anytime he's playing, I want to watch."The 28-year-old keeps adding to his growing legacy. At this point, it is undeniable that he is playing the best brand of golf we have seen since prime Tiger Woods. That is a bold statement, but the stats back it up.He will take the week off the celebrate and relax with family. Then the world will witness Scheffler go for his fourth major title at the U.S. Open in Oakmont in two weeks.More Golf: The Memorial: $20 Million Payout to PGA Tour Stars Revealed
