SCOTTIE Scheffler’s baby son Bennett stole the show at The Open on Sunday with his cute antics.
The toddler, who is just 14 months old, was greenside as his 29-year-old dad won his first Claret Jug, and the fourth Major championship of his career.

Bennett is back on his feet to the delight of the crowd
He was held by mum Meredith, 29, as Scottie putted out for a four-shot victory at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland.
But the real fun started when she put him on the ground to pootle about.
With a dummy firmly gripped between his lips, young Bennett tried to run up the slope towards the 18th green, where dad Scottie had just been presented with the famous old trophy.
But the unfortunate tot lost his balance, and face-planted the manicured turf.
Thankfully he was fine, and an R&A official came over to help him to his feet.
Bennett was hugged by his dad just moments later.
Scottie then took him to the green and showed him the trophy, but Bennett didn’t seem that impressed.
Golf fans on Twitter loved the interaction between the golfer and his son.

The toddler went viral in June at the Memorial Tournament when Meredith handed him over to the victorious Scheffler.
She was overheard telling Scheffler: ‘He has poop all over his back,.”
Scottie replied: “That’ll happen.”
The stain was visible when Scheffler was interviewed after the trophy presentation by CBS reporter Amanda Balionis.
And Scheffler added of his baby son: “He seemed pretty keen to get up that hill in front of us, even though he fell over a few times.
“But getting to share this with my wife, Meredith, and our son just makes moments like this even more special.
“Bennett has been swinging a club since he saw one of his older cousins hitting balls.
“Now he wants to hit balls, or furniture, or sometimes other kids – but we’re working on that!”
