Scottie Scheffler’s Beer Story – What happened exactly?

Scottie Scheffler said he surprised himself on Masters Sunday when he woke up and realized just how much he wanted to win. He wished he felt differently. Who needs more pressure? Luckily he won anyway.

“It’s kind of weird living through those times in your life where you’ve dreamt about having moments like that and then all of a sudden they’re happening,” he said, speaking to an audience of media members who have very likely not approached that specific sports feeling. “So Sunday was really fun just to kind of have some good friends and celebrate and enjoy the moment. Those are guys that we’ve walked through a lot of stuff over the last eight to ten years or so, and so it was very special, all of us getting to be together and celebrating something great happening together.”

His return home to Dallas — and to his wife Meredith, in her ninth month of pregnancy — culminated in a trip to Inwood Tavern in Dallas. The media’s focus on the imminent arrival of his first child, he said, was overblown. Instead, Meredith led the charge to the town. She picked ’em up.

“I don’t know if I’d actually been to that place before,” Scheffler said of Inwood. He’d been to a bar around the corner but that one wasn’t open (“shockingly,” Scheffler said) at 1:30 a.m. Monday morning.

“So on the plane ride home, I was with my manager Blake and my coach Randy and then I had four of my good buddies with me, and I don’t remember who suggested it, but it seemed like a good idea, and when Meredith picked us up at the airport it still seemed like a good idea, and Meredith was down, so we went for probably 20 minutes and went home. Took a few photos, had a drink and then went home and went to bed,” Scheffler said.

“That was more for Meredith, and then it was like, okay, it closes at 2:00. I think Meredith finished her Heineken Zero and it was like, now we can go.”
