Scottie Scheffler entered Sunday as the leader at the Masters and turned in a strong final round performance to win the green jacket by three strokes.
Scheffler had to face some pressure to close out the victory, and he admitted following his win that he suffered an anxiety attack this morning.
However, he was able to regain his composure and remain balanced with a little help from his wife, Meredith, and his faith in Jesus Christ.
“So for me, my identity isn’t a golf score,” Scheffler said. “Like Meredith told me this morning, if you win this golf tournament today, if you lose this golf tournament by 10 shots, if you never win another golf tournament again she goes, I’m still going to love you, you’re still going to be the same person, Jesus loves you and nothing changes.
“All I’m trying to do is glorify God and that’s why I’m here and that’s why I’m in position. So for me, it’s not–it’s not about a golf score.”
I asked Scottie tonight about how he balances the desire to compete with not making it his entire identity. His answer was tremendous. pic.twitter.com/3xzHWonWhZ

Scheffler’s wife could be seen getting emotional during the final hole this evening. After her husband clinched victory, the pair shared a warm celebratory embrace.
It sounds like Meredith played a major role in the win, so hopefully both she and Scottie are enjoying it.
