Scottie Scheffler's Toddler Steals the Show After British Open Win
Scottie Sheffler's baby boy made his latest victory un-fore-gettable.
After the golfer secured his victory during the 153rd Open Championship at Royal Portrush Golf Club July 22, his 14-month-old son Bennett—who he shares with Meredith Scudder—couldn't wait to celebrate with his dad.
In the adorable moment captured during the championship, Scottie stood at the 18th hole holding onto the claret jug trophy as little Bennett—complete with a pacifier—attempted to walk up the green. The toddler left the crowd shocked as he toppled over and did a little face plant before an open official helped him up and handed him to his father.
Scottie celebrated by lifting Bennett and his trophy in the air, before his wife of five years walked over and greeted him with a kiss.
As for little Bennett's run on the green, the 29-year-old admitted it was just par for the course.

'He was trying to get up that hill on the side of the green,' Scottie explained July 20 during the post-Open press conference. 'I don't think he's ever been up a hill that big before. I felt kinda bad for him. He kept falling down.'
'But that's part of the learning curve and growing up,' he added. 'And it's very cool to have him here. He obviously has no clue what's going on. He just wants to spend some time with me. I hadn't really seen him much of the day so it's pretty cool.'
Indeed, Scottie's win was made better by the people he loves the most.
'When I see my family afterwards, it's a pretty special feeling,' he said. 'It's hard to describe, but it's something I'm very grateful for and something that I'll hold on to for a long time.'

Van Aert wins final stage as Pogacar seals Tour title
Wout van Aert denied Tadej Pogacar a prestigious win on the final stage of this year's Tour de France as the Slovenian secured his fourth Tour title. Reigning champion Pogacar had a lead of more than four minutes heading into the final day, when only the stage win would be contested in Paris. With rain falling in the French capital, the 26-year-old established himself in a six-man breakaway during a thrilling finale on the same circuit used for last year's Olympic race. But Van Aert attacked on the third and final climb to the Basilica of Sacre Coeur de Montmartre and stretched his lead over the final 5km to clinch victory on the Champs-Elysees. More to follow.

Moyes Eyes Six Signings as Everton Prepare for 2025-26 Season
Moyes Pushes for More Signings to Revamp Everton Squad The summer at Everton was always going to be about more than just a fresh kit and a clean slate. As David Moyes looked out after a chastening 3-0 loss to Bournemouth in the Premier League Summer Series, he laid bare the scale of the challenge facing his side ahead of the 2025-26 season. Urgent Recruitment Still Required Speaking in the aftermath of the defeat, Moyes was frank about the work still to be done. 'Well, we've signed three, so if you take that off, we're still in the need of maybe five or six players,' he admitted. 'That's what we have to try and do.' The arrival of Thierno Barry, Mark Travers and the permanent signing of Charlie Alcaraz from his previous loan deal offer a platform, but Moyes knows it is nowhere near enough. Everton, who have flirted with the wrong end of the Premier League for too long, are in desperate need of both depth and direction. This is not a routine transfer window, even for a manager as experienced as Moyes. 'It's one of those times, I've never had one of these,' he said. 'In the past I have had to sign a lot of players, but I've never had to do so many in one window.' Photo: IMAGO Time Running Short for Everton's Rebuild The new season looms, and Moyes will be well aware that preparation is not just about match fitness, but mental readiness too. The current squad lacks the firepower, balance and resilience that he demands. A trio of signings offers something, but in Premier League terms, it is far from sufficient. Moyes is known for structure and discipline, but even his plans rely on having the right personnel. With a short pre-season and limited time to integrate fresh faces, every day without movement in the transfer market adds pressure. 'We're trying really hard behind the scenes to get things done. We're going to need it,' he added. Key Areas to Strengthen Moyes has long valued a strong spine, and this Everton side lacks it. There is a need for a commanding centre-back, a proven goalscorer and midfielders with both energy and control. The new arrivals will help, but none of them address all three priorities directly. The goalkeeper department is bolstered by Travers, while Barry brings pace. Alcaraz, if properly deployed, could be a creator in midfield. But a core that can compete weekly at the top level is still missing. Photo IMAGO Moyes must also consider the profile of players he wants. Youth and hunger are key, but so is experience. The manager will not settle for short-term fixes. He is planning with clarity and caution, but the clock is ticking. Season Ahead Hinges on Transfer Business Everton have the bones of a competitive squad, but that is all. The real work must now happen off the pitch. Moyes has never been one for hyperbole, and his comments underline both the ambition and urgency required this summer. As pre-season results like the one against Bournemouth expose lingering flaws, Moyes and his recruitment team must act swiftly and smartly. Supporters will expect a clear strategy, not a scattergun of stopgaps. The task is large, but so is the opportunity. Moyes has a chance to shape a squad in his image. But for Everton to rise again, that chance cannot be missed.
