After winning the Memorial Tournament on Sunday, June 1, Scottie Scheffler celebrated with his family.

Watching the 28-year-old shoot 10-under par was his wife, Meredith Scheffler, and their son, 1-year-old Bennett.

After being declared the victor, Scottie grabbed his son and hugged his wife. And in the midst of all the celebratory excitement, Bennett suffered a diaper malfunction and cameras captured the aftermath.

As Meredith and Bennett met up with Scottie, Meredith warned her husband, video shared by CBS Sports shows.

“He’s got poop all over his back so be prepared — sorry,” Meredith said as she handed Bennett to Scottie.

“That’ll happen,” the proud dad replied.

“He had so much fun watching you!” Meredith added, according to Today.

Fans of the Scheffler family empathized with the parents, calling Scottie’s response to the blowout “the daddest response.”

One X, formerly known as Twitter, user wrote, “We’ve all been there….as I’ve said for forty years, ‘There is nothing more humbling than being a parent.’”

“That is the absolute best,” another X user wrote. “Real stuff right there!”

“Honestly, I love it. This is what real life is—messy, hilarious, and completely grounding. The big wins are fun, sure. But the best parts are the quiet ones. The ordinary ones. Where no one’s cheering, and you’re still all in!” added another.

Scottie got emotional talking about his wife and son with Golf on CBS reporter Amanda Balionis.

“Yeah, you’re really trying to make me emotional now. My wife is my biggest supporter,” Scheffler said as tears formed in his eyes while he held their son. “She’s my best friend. This is our life out here on the road, and it’s been a lot of fun. We’ve had some special memories at this tournament, and yeah, I definitely couldn’t do it without her.”

This was Scottie’s third win in four starts. He won the CJ CUP at the beginning of May and the PGA Championship two weeks later.
