His toddler, Bennett, spotted him on the green and took off running toward his dad. He only managed a few wobbly steps before falling straight onto the grass, as captured in a clip NBC Sports shared on X.
'No!' an announcer cried as the crowd collectively gasped in sympathy. But Scheffler, grinning, gently set down the Claret Jug and waved for his son to try again.

Eventually, someone nearby helped Bennett back on his feet, and Scheffler walked over to scoop him up.
Father and son posed beside the famed trophy, the 1-year-old visibly unbothered by the global spotlight.
Another moment that captured hearts online was a now-viral photo of Scheffler hugging his wife, Meredith, while holding Bennett, who wore a hilariously unimpressed expression that fans joked said, 'We do this every Sunday.'- hilariously commenting on how often Scheller has win such tournaments.

And netizens can't get over the cuteness of this child.
One user interpreted Bennet's expression as, ''What did you expect? I knew he was gonna win!' Little man Scheffler has it down.'
Another wrote, 'All Bennet Scheffler knows in this brief time he's been in this world is winning. Kid hasn't seen an L in his life.' A third user said, 'Bennett Scheffler is literally growing up in front of our eyes during 18th green trophy ceremonies, with dozens of world class photographers snapping away.

That baby album is going to SLAP.'
After the win, Scheffler gave an interview to CBS Sports while holding his son, who had just had a diaper blowout before the final moments of the tournament.
'He's got poop all over his back so be prepared — sorry!' Meredith Scheffler said off-camera in the CBS clip.
'That'll happen,' Scheffler replied with a laugh, unbothered as ever.
'He had so much fun watching you!' Meredith told him as Bennett calmly sucked on his fingers.
The PGA star has often credited Meredith, his high school sweetheart and wife since 2020, as his 'biggest supporter' and 'best friend,' notably doing so after his win at the Memorial Tournament in Dublin, Ohio, on June 1.

Dinesh Karthik impressed by ‘fiesty' Shubman Gill, defends India captain's abuse-laden Zak Crawley verbal volley
Dinesh Karthik has been impressed by Shubman Gill's captaincy during the ongoing five-match Test series. Gill will be looking to win his first Test series as captain, but India also trail 1-2. The India skipper has also been in dominant form and has already registered three tons. England's Zak Crawley clashes with India's Shubman Gill.(Action Images via Reuters) Gill was also involved in a heated altercation with England opener Zak Crawley, in the third Test. During the incident, Gill was caught by the stump mic, using an abuse-laden rant at Crawley. Ahead of the fourth Test, Gill defended himself and said that he wasn't proud of his altercation with Crawley, but that he did it for his team, as the Englishman's time-wasting tacics were not in the spirit of the game. Visibly impressed by Gill's captaincy and leadership, Karthik told Sky Sports, 'I have really enjoyed him as a captain so far. On the field, he is improving. But off the field is where is where I have been most impressed.' 'I think yesterday's press conference was absolutely box office. 'I like it, it is good to be feisty, You need to have an identity as a captain. And Shubman Gill, from that third day at Lord's, has shown that he has a lot of aggression inside him. The result may not have gone his way but the point is it has made for a thrilling Test series so far and his captaincy is right at the forefront of it, backed by his batting skills as well,' he added. Meanwhile, Gill has also agreed with Karthik's analysis and on Tuesday said, 'It didn't just come out of nowhere. And we had no intention of doing that whatsoever. But you're playing a game, you're playing to win, and there are a lot of emotions involved.' Both sides are currently up against each other in the fourth Test. It was an entertaining affair on Day 1 as England captain Ben Stokes won the toss and opted to bowl. India reached 264/4 at Stumps, but also lost Rishabh Pant to injury. The wicketkeeper-batter retired hurt after a nasty foot injury,

Soccer-Marc Brys denies he has quit as Cameroon coach
By Amindeh Blaise Atabong HT Image YAOUNDE (Reuters) -Marc Brys has denied he has quit as coach of Cameroon despite the country's football federation confirming his exit on Wednesday, as the Belgian said his email was likely hacked and his alleged resignation letter did not come from him. It is the latest twist in a long-running battle between Brys and the Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT) since his appointment by the country's sports ministry in April 2024. A letter dated July 21, supposedly from Brys to the sports ministry and FECAFOOT, said he had made the decision to terminate his contract "due to the non-payment of my remuneration and that of my staff for more than 60 days." When the letter came into the public domain on Wednesday, FECAFOOT said in a statement they had noted the resignation and would "implement a coordinated response to mitigate the impact of this vacancy at the head of the national team's technical staff." However, Brys later said in a letter to the sports ministry that his email had likely been hacked, and that he had not resigned. Cameroon's sports ministry confirmed that Brys remained in his role. FECAFOOT has not responded to the coach's denial. It comes five months before the Africa Cup of Nations finals in Morocco and with Cameroon's qualification for the 2026 World Cup undecided. Brys has had a testy relationship with FECAFOOT president Samuel Eto'o since taking the job last year, but his position is funded by the Ministry of Sports and Physical Education. Cameroon have been drawn in a group with defending champions Ivory Coast, Gabon and Mozambique at the December 21-January 18 finals of the AFCON. They are currently second in their qualifying pool for next year's World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada, a point behind Cape Verde with four rounds remaining. Only the top team automatically earns their place at the finals, with Cameroon set for a crunch tie away against Cape Verde in September. The qualification campaign will conclude in October.

India insert healthy dollop of chaos on throwback day of Test cricket at Old Trafford
For such a traditional day of Test cricket, and one in which India did well to put up stiff resistance to a much improved England bowling performance, the tourists still managed to insert a healthy dollop of chaos into their proceedings. read more Rishabh Pant was batting on 37 when he was struck on the foot by an inside edge off a Chris Woakes yorker on Day 1 of the fourth Test against England in Manchester. Reuters It was something of a throwback day of Test cricket at Old Trafford on Wednesday, – given the swashbuckling seen on these shores in recent seasons, what once would have been very much the norm now seemed positively retro. A fitting time then for Liam Dawson to make his return to the Test arena, eight years and five days, or 102 matches if you prefer, since he last did so. The last time Dawson donned the whites for England Robert Mugabe was still in power, the Nintendo Switch had only just been released, the world and English cricket looked very different indeed. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD As selections go, Dawson is something of a throwback himself, not so much a Bazballian pick based on high-release points and future potential, rather one founded on a long and consistent county career and the skills and nous accumulated from it. More from First Cricket Rishabh Pant leaves field in an ambulance after getting seriously hurt by Woakes yorker at Old Trafford; see video Getting Jaiswal a useful bonus on Test comeback for Dawson The opening act of his comeback story was successful if low-key, showing the crucial day one ability to tie down an end, while also winkling out the dangerous Yashasvi Jaiswal as a more than useful bonus. Well worth the wait, Daws! 🙌 Jaiswal caught by Brook off Dawson 🤲 🇮🇳 1⃣2⃣0⃣-2⃣ — England Cricket (@englandcricket) July 23, 2025 Speaking after the close of play Dawson was realistic and largely just seemed happy to be back: 'It was nice to contribute to the team early on,' he said. 'I've said to a few people that the age I'm at, I thought Test cricket was gone. To be back involved is really cool and I've got to try and enjoy each day that I get. 'Test cricket is completely different to domestic cricket so to get that wicket was a nice relief coming back into it. It's a big day tomorrow, hopefully I'll get a couple more. It's one wicket, I've done nothing special. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'I knew what to expect coming into it for a second time so that helped to understand what it's going to be like. But Test cricket is hard, you'll have good and bad days. The biggest thing for me is I understood what to expect whereas before, I didn't really.' Questionable Indian selection and Pant's injury For such a traditional day of Test cricket, and one in which India did well to put up stiff resistance to a much improved England bowling performance, the tourists still managed to insert a healthy dollop of chaos into their proceedings. While injuries were largely to blame this time around, the team selection remains something of a piece of performance art for India in this series, three changes made once again. Nitish Kumar Reddy and Akash Deep's withdrawals may have been unavoidable, but the reintroduction of Shardul Thakur to the series raised a few eyebrows, and the return of Sai Sudharsan just two Tests after he was unceremoniously dropped – having made his debut in that match – smacked of a fickleness usually best kept well away from any selectorial business. However the far greater spanner into the Indian works came in the evening session, Rishabh Pant rather reaping what he sowed attempting a shot straight out of his own bizarro textbook. Pant opted to reverse-sweep the fourth ball of the 68th over, but only succeeded in – England reviewed but the inside edge spared him the ignominy of the LBW. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD India's Rishabh Pant was driven off the ground as he retired hurt on 37 on Day 1 of the fourth Test at Old Trafford. AP Ultimately though it was something of a pyrrhic victory for Pant, who instantly retired hurt and is now in the words of teammate Sudharsan 'unlikely' to play much further part in the match – . It was the only real standout event in an otherwise fairly ordinary day, but one which could have serious consequences for Indian hopes in the remainder of this series.
