Scottie Scheffler won the Masters in historic fashion on Sunday, earning his second green jacket in three years.
He then fulfilled his media duties, posing for photos in front of the 18th green and speaking to reporters before heading straight to the Augusta airport.
He flew home to Dallas, Texas, to meet his wife, Meredith, who is eight months pregnant with their first child. However, as soon as Scheffler returned home, visited his local dive barInwood Tavern near Dallas Love Field Airport.
The Inwood Tavern didn’t seem to be full, but Mr. Scheffler posed for pictures with some employees wearing his new green jacket.
His entire wardrobe also remained the same, except for a blue hat with “Texas” written on the front.
Scheffler’s win at Augusta National was his third in his past four starts, and each victory was his first since early March. He won the Arnold Palmer Invitational in difficult conditions, fought back to beat The Players by a stroke, and then won the Masters by four strokes.
The only time he didn’t win was at the Texas Children’s Houston Open, where he missed a 6-foot birdie on the 72nd hole and lost by one to Stefan Jaeger.
Despite this, Scheffler is still a top player in the world and now has two Green Jackets to his name, so there was plenty of reason to celebrate at the local dive bar.
