Say what? Masters champion Scottie Scheffler ‘cried like a baby’ just hours before claiming his first major at Augusta National

AUGUSTA, Ga. – Scottie Scheffler “cried like a baby,” just hours before his victory at the 86^th Masters.

Scheffler — the picture of calm, cool and collected was anything — but in the hours leading to the final round at Augusta National Golf Club. Scheffler held a three-stroke lead heading into the final round, but had a lot of time to kill before his 2:50 p.m. ET tee time in the final group.

“Last night was pretty easy. I was tired. We went and got some food. I spilled my dinner in the car on the way home, and that was extraordinarily frustrating,” said Scheffler, noting that his wife, Meredith was still laughing about it in the back of the auditorium where her husband was conducting his winner’s press conference. “She thought it was the funniest thing ever; I didn’t think it was so funny at the time.”
