SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER cruised to another title at the Memorial Open – before being hit with the realities of parenthood.
The 28-year-old defended his crown in Ohio with a four-stroke victory over Ben Griffin.

Scheffler sealed a third career major at last month’s USPGA Championship.
And he continued his stunning form at Muirfield Village, posting -10 across his four rounds to bag the £3million prize pot.
Scheffler celebrated on the 18th green with wife Meredith and their one-year-old son Bennett.
The World No1 was handed his son minutes after sinking the winning putt.
But eagle-eyed fans couldn’t help but notice Scheffler Jr. was in need of a nappy change.
Bennett had suffered an unfortunate blowout, with what appeared to be a large poo stain spotted on the back of his baby grow.
Reposting the viral image, golf writer Kyle Porter quipped: “Winning a golf tournament for $4 million and your wife handing you a baby with a poop stain square in the middle of his back is peak dad life.”
One fan laughed in response: “This is what peak male performance looks like.”

Another said: “He’s just like us.”
While a third joked: “2 blow outs in 1 day…the Scheffler’s are unstoppable.”
Tiger Woods is the only other player to have successfully defended the Memorial title.
Five-time winner Woods retained the crown between 1999 and 2001.
Scheffler has now bagged more than £7m in prize money since Rory McIlroy’s Masters triumph in April.
His latest win has come less than two weeks before the start of the US Open.
Scheffler said: “It’s pretty cool.
“It’s always a hard week. It’s so challenging to play this tournament. Ben made things interesting down the stretch.
“Overall, it was a great week.”
