Scottie Scheffler's son suffers diaper malfunction as dad celebrates PGA Tour win
After winning the Memorial Tournament on Sunday, June 1, Scottie Scheffler celebrated with his family.
Watching the 28-year-old shoot 10-under par was his wife, Meredith Scheffler, and their son, 1-year-old Bennett.
After being declared the victor, Scottie grabbed his son and hugged his wife. And in the midst of all the celebratory excitement, Bennett suffered a diaper malfunction and cameras captured the aftermath.
As Meredith and Bennett met up with Scottie, Meredith warned her husband, video shared by CBS Sports shows.
'He's got poop all over his back so be prepared — sorry,' Meredith said as she handed Bennett to Scottie.
'That'll happen,' the proud dad replied.
'He had so much fun watching you!' Meredith added, according to Today.
Fans of the Scheffler family empathized with the parents, calling Scottie's response to the blowout 'the daddest response.'
One X, formerly known as Twitter, user wrote, 'We've all been there….as I've said for forty years, 'There is nothing more humbling than being a parent.''
'That is the absolute best,' another X user wrote. 'Real stuff right there!'
'Honestly, I love it. This is what real life is—messy, hilarious, and completely grounding. The big wins are fun, sure. But the best parts are the quiet ones. The ordinary ones. Where no one's cheering, and you're still all in!' added another.
Scottie got emotional talking about his wife and son with Golf on CBS reporter Amanda Balionis.
'Yeah, you're really trying to make me emotional now. My wife is my biggest supporter,' Scheffler said as tears formed in his eyes while he held their son. 'She's my best friend. This is our life out here on the road, and it's been a lot of fun. We've had some special memories at this tournament, and yeah, I definitely couldn't do it without her.'
This was Scottie's third win in four starts. He won the CJ CUP at the beginning of May and the PGA Championship two weeks later.

Draisaitl nets OT winner, Oilers top Panthers 4-3 to take Game 1 of Stanley Cup final
EDMONTON - Leon Draisaitl capped a two-goal effort with the overtime winner to lift the Edmonton Oilers to a 4-3 comeback victory over the Florida Panthers in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup final on Wednesday. Connor McDavid picked up his second assist of the game chipping a pass in front to Draisaitl who scored a power-play goal with just 31 seconds remaining in extra time. Viktor Arvidsson and Mattias Ekholm also scored for the Oilers, who lost the first three games of last year's Cup final against Florida before storming back to force Game 7, where they suffered a narrow 2-1 loss. Stuart Skinner made 29 stops in net for the win. Sam Bennett had a pair of goals and Brad Marchand also scored for the Panthers, who are playing in their third consecutive Stanley Cup final. Sergei Bobrovsky made 42 saves in the loss. Edmonton got off to a tremendous start with a goal just 66 seconds into the opening period. A big rebound from a Kasperi Kapanen shot came out to Draisaitl and he sent his eighth of the playoffs into a wide-open net. It was the fastest goal to start a Cup final in nearly 50 years. Draisaitl didn't score once in last year's final. Florida tied the game at 10:49 of the first period as a Carter Verhaeghe shot ticked off of a sprawling Bennett and past Skinner. The Oilers unsuccessfully challenged the goal, saying Bennett interfered with their goalie on the play, but a quick review went in Florida's favour. It proved costly, as the Panthers struck again just over a minute later on the ensuing power play, with Nate Schmidt making a nice feed to the side of the net to Marchand, who potted his fifth. Florida took a two-goal lead just two minutes into the second period as Schmidt made a nice feed to give Bennett a free lane to the net and he beat Skinner stick-side for his 12th of the playoffs. Bennett set a new franchise record for post-season goals and tying an NHL record for road goals in a playoffs with 11. Edmonton responded just 1:17 later as Arvidsson sent a shot through traffic that ticked off Bobrovsky and in for his second. The Oilers tied the game up with 13:27 to play in the third period as McDavid sent it back to a pinching Ekholm who scored his first. Ekholm was playing in just his second game of the post-season after missing two months with injury, becoming the 20th Oiler with a goal in these playoffs. Edmonton outshot Florida 14-2 in the third period. It was the 19th Game 1 to go to overtime in Stanley Cup final history, with 14 of the 18 winners of those OT contests going on to win the series. NOTES It is just the second Cup final rematch in the past 40 years since Edmonton played the New York Islanders in 1983 and 1984, and first since Detroit and Pittsburgh played each other in 2008 and 2009. The team that lost the first half of the two previous rematches came back to win in the second meeting… Clubs that win Game 1 have gone on to win the Cup 76.5 per cent of the time (65-20), including all of the past four years. UP NEXT Game 2 takes place on Friday in Edmonton. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 4, 2025.

Draisaitl scores in overtime as Oilers beats Panthers in Game 1 of Stanley Cup Final
The Florida Panthers were in their comfort zone Wednesday — leading after two periods, ready to lock things down defensively. They've done it so many times during these Stanley Cup playoffs on their way to this point, a rematch with the Edmonton Oilers in the Stanley Cup Final. The Oilers had other plans. Mattias Ekholm tied the game 6:33 into the final frame on just Edmonton's second shot of the period before Leon Draisaitl scored the game-winner on the power play with 31 seconds left in overtime to lead the Oilers to a 4-3 win over the Panthers in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final at Edmonton's Rogers Place. It's the first time the Panthers have lost a postseason game over the past three years when they led after either the first or second period (they were up 2-1 after the first and 3-2 after the second). They were 31-0 in those situations entering Wednesday. Game 2 is at 8 p.m. Friday from Edmonton. Florida's loss came after the Panthers had dug themselves out of an early hole with three goals — two from Sam Bennett, one from Brad Marchand — in a span of 11:11 spanning the end of the first period and the start of the second. The Panthers were down 1-0 early when Draisaitl scored on a rebound just 66 seconds into regulation — the seventh-fastest goal to begin a Stanley Cup Final in NHL history. Then the comeback was on. It started with Bennett deflecting a Carter Verhaeghe shot past Stuart Skinner while being tripped into Skinner by Edmonton's Brett Kulak to tie the game at 1-1 with 9:11 left in the opening frame. The Oilers challenged for goaltender interference but the goal stood because Kulak initiated the contact with Bennett that led to Bennett falling into Skinner. Florida scored on the ensuing power play from the failed Edmonton challenge, with Brad Marchand sending a wrist shot past Skinner to make it 2-1 Panthers with 7:30 left in the frame. The first-period goals by Bennett and Marchand gave the Panthers 50 road goals in this year's playoffs, breaking the NHL record of 49 set by the Los Angeles Kings in 1993. Bennett then pushed Florida's lead to 3-1 two minutes into the second period after taking a cross-ice feed from Nate Schmidt, moving the puck to his forehand and firing a snap shot from up close that beat Skinner. With the multi-goal effort, Bennett now has 12 goals this postseason, a new franchise record for a single playoffs. But the effort was for naught. Edmonton cut its deficit back to one goal shortly afterward when Viktor Arvidsson took a drop pass from Vasily Podkolzin and fired a slap shot from just above the left circle that beat Sergei Bobrovsky. And then Ekholm tied the game with 13:27 left in the third on a shot from the left circle before the Oilers sealed it in overtime. This story will be updated.
