In 2014, Scudder graduated from Highland Park High School, where she met long-term lover Scottie Scheffler.
Meredith took an instant liking to Scottie, explaining: "At the beginning of high school I always thought he had a super humble ambience about him, that he was just a really down-to-earth guy that doesn't take himself too seriously.
"Even when he had amazing accomplishments, that wasn't the most important thing about him."
After high school she attended Texas A&M University as a communication and business major.
She secured her Bachelor's degree in 2018.
Scheffler was born on June 21, 1996, in New Jersey, but his parents, Scott and Diane, moved the family to Dallas, Texas, when the golfing prodigy was seven.

The young sportsman had already discovered his talent by this time, explaining to Golf Digest: "In high school, I narrowed it down to just basketball and golf.
"My whole life, I knew how much I loved golf. It was the one sport I always wanted to be playing, regardless of the season."
While Scudder studied at A&M University, Scheffler attended their rivals, the University of Texas, but that didn't stop the pair from regularly visiting each other.
What is Meredith Scudder's history with Scottie Scheffler?
Scudder and Scheffler met at High School but didn't date until senior year.
They continued dating long-distance during their university years, before Scheffler popped the big question during a hike at the Arbor Hills Nature Preserve in Texas.
Meredith and Scottie tied the knot in a Winter Wonderland-themed wedding in 2020.
Prior to the big day, Scudder wrote on her Instagram: "YES! I can't believe God gave me my best friend to spend the rest of my life with, can't wait to be your wife, Scottie!!!!
"Blown away at the Lord's faithfulness and goodness to us. [LET'S] DO THIS!!"
The couple officially tied the knot on December 4, 2020, at Arlington Hall in Dallas, after dating for six years.

Alongside that, the American is also an ambassador of the nutrition organisation Juice Plus.
She previously served a couple for internships - one in Zambia in 2016 and another at Live Beyond in 2017.

Two hours of stamping later, and her laundry room had gone from plain white to being covered in the gorgeous floral print. Baylee said: 'You know what? It worked out for me.' And she wasn't done yet. She added that she then added a hanging basket to the wall, along with some artwork a friend had made her.

TikTok user @lifeatthelma showed how she had picked out a gorgeous sage green paint and had then taped a decorative stencil to the wall. She thought everything had gone swimmingly, until she peeled back the stencil to reveal her hard work. To her horror, the paint had spread until the stencil and it looked messy and not like the design she had wanted. After she pulled off a larger section, she joked: 'But do we think it is giving cottage core (the goal) or chain link fence?'

Scroll down to see the full list of football's most shocking moments CREME DE LA PREM Most memorable football moments from Maradona's 'Hand of God' to Beckham's '98 red card, survey shows Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DIEGO Maradona's infamous 'Hand of God' has been crowned the most notorious football moment, according to a poll of fans. The diminutive Argentinian broke English hearts in 1986 when he rose above Peter Shilton and punched the ball into the net.

Also making the top five were David Beckham's red card for kicking Diego Simeone and Frank Lampard's shockingly disallowed goal against Germany in the 2010 World Cup. The study also revealed many amateur players had experienced their own horrors on the football pitch, with 23 per cent enduring a Ronnie Rosenthal-style open goal blunder. The research was commissioned by Specsavers as part of its Best Worst Team series - inspired by such football faux pas, from missed goals to not hearing the refs whistle. Read more in Football CUPS AND DOWNS Football's most iconic moments revealed including Hand of God & Gazza tears The list of infamous moments on the pitch also highlighted Thierry Henry's blatant handball against Ireland in World Cup qualifying in 2009, often cited as a key reason for the introduction of VAR. Club football was also represented, including the time Carlos Tevez didn't come off the bench as a substitute for Manchester City in a Champions League match against Bayern Munich 2011. As was Darren Bent's famous 'Beach Ball Goal' – when the Sunderland striker's shot took a huge deflection off a beach ball on the pitch against Liverpool, wrong footing Pepe Reina in goal. But for those playing in parks and pitches up and down the country, 22 per cent have been left red faced when they wildly celebrated a goal, only to realise it had actually been ruled out. Whereas 12 per cent of goalies have let in an absolute howler and were left lying on the ground wishing it would open to swallow them. The research, conducted via went on to find 78 per cent believe these unbelievably memorable moments are part of what makes football iconic, even if they can feel unfair. Over a third (35 per cent) prefer football when it is 'unpredictable and chaotic', as opposed to a quarter (25 per cent) who'd rather a 'fair and structured' contest. Tunley Athletic – which previously lost all 26 games, shipping 137 more goals than they scored in the process – took part in the Best Worst Team series. Maradona scores infamous 'Hand of God' goal in the 1986 World Cup quarter final against England It went on to have its fortunes turned around by Specsavers with the help of Ella Toone, Gary Neville and Luke Littler. Charman Craig Doughty said: 'Sometimes being rubbish at football really pays off. 'While it sounds funny to say it, being crowned the Best Worst Team is honestly the best thing that ever happened to us. 'We were struggling to get a team together last season and we were on a 17-0 losing run. "Team morale was at an all-time low, and we were close to folding the club. 'But this money-can't buy experience surpassed all our expectations – it was on another level. "It's given everyone such a boost, and we actually started seeing better performances on the pitch.

She used Essence Baby Got Bronze Shimmering Bronzer Stick in Shade 20 Holiday Glow to help with her look. On top of this she used a blusher - the Essence Blush Stick Shade 50 in Cherry Cherry Baby - followed by a concealer which swiped up from the corner of her mouth and the outside of her nose. She then blended in the products and showed how lifted and snatched she looked, compared to the other side of her face which made her look like she'd 'gained 2kg', according to her. On the other side, she had placed the products lower down her face, which didn't 'lift' her features. On her video, Sam added: 'What a difference this make-up hack can make.' Her tip has been liked by over 82,000 people, and many were quick to comment. One said: 'That's crazy tho she looks so different.' A second added: 'That's crazy. With such a minimal amount too?'

'The cotton pad acts like padding so if it gets thrown or hit it'll be more dense together, decreasing the risk.'
