Scottie Scheffler recently clinched his second green jacket with his outstanding performance at the Masters tournament. The golfer had incredible rounds of 66, 72, 71, and 68 to conclude the event at 11 under par.
Soon after, during his winner’s press conference, the 27-year-old golfer disclosed that he was going to celebrate his victory to the fullest, once he was back home in Dallas. He went on to say (via Golf Week):
“I will go home, soak in this victory tonight.”
It’s important to note that although Scottie Scheffler was leading the tournament from the second day, he was also prepared to withdraw from the event. This is considerable as his wife Meredith is due to deliver their first child anytime soon.
Scheffler also had a private jet on standby near the Augusta course, ready to take him home at a moment’s notice. He mentioned during the same press conference how eager he was to return home soon.
“In my head, all I can think about right now is getting home. I’m not thinking about the tournament. I’m not thinking about the green jacket. I’m trying to answer your questions and I’m trying to get home.”
After the conference ended, Scheffler returned home and celebrated his victory at the iconic dive bar, Inwood Tavern. In full party mode, the golfer wore the green jacket over the outfit he had on during the final round. This was indeed a moment for celebration as the golfer once again took home the Masters trophy, repeating the feat he accomplished in 2022.
