After a fourth place finish at the U.S. Open, Scottie Scheffler is back atop the leaderboard at the 2026 Travelers Championship.

Scheffler's biggest fans, his wife, Meredith Scudder, and their two children, Bennett and Remy, are cheering him on in Cromwell, Connecticut.

On Friday, Scheffler came just short of becoming the second golfer in PGA Tour history to with two sub-60 rounds. He finished with a second-round 60.

The world's No. 1 golfer wasn't stressed about the narrow miss. "It was kind of funny," he told reporters. "Yeah, it would be cool to shoot 59, but somebody has already shot 58 here, so it's not even the course record.

"So it's not like...you know, Jim (Furyk) kind of takes away a little bit of the special 59 when you are losing still."

The PGA Tour captioned the adorable video, "World No. 1's protégé is coming into form. Bennett Scheffler is looking sharp on the range with dad."

One fan joked, "Footwork already better than dads." Another person commented, "Love this. The best family in golf." One viewer offered more advice for the toddler, "Needs to keep his head down through impact and a little more hip rotation."

It's safe to say Scheffler's boys are getting an early education on golf. While Bennett is already practicing his swing, his little brother, Remy, joined the family at the 2026 Masters Tournament just nine days after his birth.

When asked how they landed on the name Remy, Scheffler didn't give a flowery story. "We just liked it," he said, per the AP. “We didn’t have very many good boy names, to be honest with you.”
