After winning, Scheffler sent a heartfelt message to his wife, Meredith.

"My wife is my biggest supporter." He said. "She's my best friend and this is our life out here on the road and it's been a lot of fun and I've had some special memories of this tournament and definitely couldn't do it without her. It's amazing to think how much this one(his son Bennett) has grown since one year ago."

Scheffler will not be participating in the RBC Canadian starting Thursday. Fans will directly get to see him at the US Open, teeing off on June 12.
