HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. (AP) — Masters champion Scottie Scheffler would be the first to lament he doesn’t spend enough time celebrating his achievements, which are piling up at an alarming pace. He made an exception after winning his second green jacket in three years.
He flew home to Dallas with his four close friends, manager and coach. And on a whim, with his wife’s blessing when she picked them up, they all went to the Inwood Tavern to celebrate, Scheffler still in his green jacket.
They stayed 20 minutes and then it was closing time. Scheffler technically can say they closed down the bar.
“Took a few photos, had a drink and then went home and went to bed,” Scheffler said Wednesday at the RBC Heritage on idyllic Hilton Head Island, a tournament known as the perfect place for a big post-Masters exhale.
His wife Meredith is not due with the couple’s first child for about two more weeks. Scheffler had planned all along to play in the $20 million signature event and he never gave a thought to anything but honoring his commitment.
