Scottie Scheffler created waves before the British Open when he questioned the meaning of his success in a press conference, repeatedly asking what was the point of his relentless pursuit of golfing glory.

After cruising to a four-shot victory at Royal Portrush Sunday, the world number one American pumped his fists in celebration.

Scheffler’s son, Bennett fell over as he tried to run to his dad on the green before the British Open champion scooped him up and held him alongside the trophy.

“Thanks to my wife and son - I love you very much and can’t wait to get home and celebrate," Scheffler said. “To my parents and the rest of the team, I can’t thank you guys enough. I’ve got the best support team. Everyone does such a great job of working together.”
