American Scottie Scheffler has won the 153rd British Open at Royal Portrush Golf Club in Northern Ireland. The 29-year-old is now one major win away from completing a Grand Slam.
Scheffler is beginning to lap the field with his dominance on the PGA Tour, even drawing comparisons to a legendary racehorse.
To highlight how he deals with fame, Scottie Scheffler told a story of the two Chipotle restaurants that he eats at when he’s home in Dallas.
Scheffler's father, Scott Scheffler, is from Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey. He was a carpenter and stay-at-home dad throughout Scottie's youth, and he played a role in the star golfer's interest in the sport as a kid, including taking him to the driving range and with Diane, eventually getting Scottie access to Royal Oaks Country Club in Dallas.
