BABY STEPS ‘I love you and I’m coming home’ Scottie Scheffler sends emotional message to pregnant wife after second Masters win

GOLF star Scottie Scheffler celebrated his second Masters triumph – then dashed home for the birth of his child.

Scheffler, 27, put on the green jacket for a second time with a four-shot win at the Augusta National Golf Club on Sunday.

And he headed straight home to Dallas, Texas to celebrate with his heavily-pregnant wife Meredith.

Scheffler was ready to pull out of the Masters if Meredith went into labor.

He reaffirmed his position ahead of Sunday’s round at 2.35pm local time despite holding a one-shot lead.

Fortunately for the world No. 1, he was able to complete his round without alarm and captured his second major.

He was asked by CBS host Jim Nantz in the Butler Cabin afterwards if he has a message for wife Meredith.

“I’m coming home. I’ll be home as quick as I can,” he said.

“I love you and I’m coming home.”

Scheffler added, “You’re about to make me cry here in Butler Cabin. It’s a very special time for both of us.

“I can’t put into words what it means to win this tournament again and I really can’t put into words what it’s going to be like to be a father for the first time.

“Looking forward to getting home and celebrating with Meredith, it’s been a long week without her.”

Scheffler married his high-school sweetheart Meredith in 2020.

The couple are expecting their first child, which has come very close to the Masters.

The golfer even found a way around Augusta’s policy of no phones on Sunday just in case there was any baby news.
