Bennett is back on his feet to the delight of the crowd
He was held by mum Meredith, 29, as Scottie putted out for a four-shot victory at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland.
But the real fun started when she put him on the ground to pootle about.
With a dummy firmly gripped between his lips, young Bennett tried to run up the slope towards the 18th green, where dad Scottie had just been presented with the famous old trophy.
But the unfortunate tot lost his balance, and face-planted the manicured turf.
Thankfully he was fine, and an R&A official came over to help him to his feet.
Bennett was hugged by his dad just moments later.
Scottie then took him to the green and showed him the trophy, but Bennett didn't seem that impressed.
Golf fans on Twitter loved the interaction between the golfer and his son.

The toddler went viral in June at the Memorial Tournament when Meredith handed him over to the victorious Scheffler.
She was overheard telling Scheffler: 'He has poop all over his back,."
Scottie replied: "That'll happen."
The stain was visible when Scheffler was interviewed after the trophy presentation by CBS reporter Amanda Balionis.

Ibiza Rocks selling party tickets despite suspending events after balcony plunge deaths
Evan Thomson, of Aberdeen, and Gary Kelly, from Dundee, died this month after falling from their hotel balcony in Ibiza. The Ibiza hotel where two Scots fell to their deaths within weeks of one another are still selling party tickets despite saying they were pausing future events. Evan Thomson, from Aberdeen, fell to his death from his Ibiza Rocks hotel balcony on Monday July 7. The 26-year-old tragically fell from the sixth floor while on holiday celebrating his birthday. Just two weeks later, on Monday, Gary Kelly, 19, from Dundee died after he fell from the third-floor of the hotel just after midnight. Following their tragic deaths, Ibiza Rocks announced that they would be suspending all events. In a statement, the hotel said: "We are deeply shocked and devastated by the recent incidents that have tragically occurred. "Our priority is to support those affected and their loved ones during this incredibly difficult time, and to fully assist the authorities with their investigations. "The safety and wellbeing of our guests has, and always will remain, our highest priority. Given the seriousness of the situation and out of respect for those involved, we believe it is right to pause our advertised events programme at this time. "All customers will be informed directly via email." However, tickets for events from this Saturday are still available to purchase online, starting with their weekly LoveJuice Ibiza Day Party. Ibiza Rocks are charging holidaymakers £17.35 for general admission and £26 for a Daylife pass, which includes a food and drink voucher. The hotel is hosting an R&B Affair Day Party on Sunday, which promises to be the island's biggest R&B party, which is priced the same as the previous day's event. Dizzee Rascal was scheduled to play at the hotel yesterday as part of the venue's '20th birthday celebrations' but that was postponed. However, Rudimental are still set to perform on July 30 for the anniversary, with tickets still available to purchase online. Following Evan's death his loved ones raised questions about the hotel safety, slamming how the party destination handled the situation. Evan's friend Blair Robertson slammed the hotel, saying they tried hard to 'get things back to normal' following the death. He added: 'Security took us away to front desk. Paramedics didn't arrive for about 30 minutes. Forensic officers didn't speak English. We were just standing there, not knowing what was going on. Reception gave us false hope. "We heard the jet washes cleaning the ground where Evan died. That was the worst thing for us" While Evan's sister Teila said that there needed to be 'higher safety precautions', adding: "Once it did happen, the hotel's response was just completely heartbreaking; almost as if it never happened. I pray no other family has to go through this." Yesterday, Ibiza Rocks issued a safety notice on their social media following the deaths, saying their thoughts 'remained with the families' of Evan and Gary. They wrote: "The tragic incidents of the past few weeks have deeply affected many. We continue to work closely with the authorities and our thoughts and support remain with everyone impacted. "Much of the hard work that goes into safety and security in hotels and venues across the world happens behind the scenes. With thousands of guests passing through our doors every summer, it takes a collective effort from our team, security and local partners to maximise safety for all. "In times like these, care matters - but so does action. We have zero tolerance for any behaviour that puts our guests or our team at risk and we are building on the strong work we already do to go even further. "Out of respect and privacy for the people involved, we don't usually comment on individual reports posted online, but that certainly doesn't mean we're not always listening. We're committed to working with anyone who raises solid concerns so that we can establish the facts and take the appropriate steps. "Our hotel remains open and more information on a future events programme will be shared as soon as possible." The hotel also noted that it is working to improve balcony safety. They continued: "Balcony safety is something we take very seriously, and our hotel meets all the applicable building regulations. "Alongside that, we're introducing further safety measures and working to raise more guest awareness to help encourage responsible use and keep everyone safe." Ibiza Rocks did not respond to the Record's request for comment.

Oleksandr Usyk ordered to face rare ‘heavyweight who can cause him problems' following brutal Dubois KO
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FANS believe that Oleksandr Usyk will come up against the one heavyweight he can "cause him problems." The Ukrainian fighter further punched his name in boxing history with his second KO win over Daniel Dubois on the weekend. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Oleksandr Usyk beat Daniel Dubois on the weekend Credit: Getty 3 He has been ordered to fight Joshua Parker next Credit: Reuters 3 Fans think the Kiwi could cause Usyk issues Credit: Getty Usyk, 38, chinned the Brit in the fifth round to become the three-time undisputed champion of the world. He is now on the lookout for his next opponent and fans are convinced of who it should be. Usyk has dismantled British boxing with devastating wins over Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury and now Dubois. But he has been ordered to look further afield for his next entry into the ring. Fans are demanding that Usyk take on Kiwi fighter Joshua Parker, as he is the only remaining boxer who could challenge him. One posted: "Joseph Parker is the only heavyweight aside Fury who can give Usyk some problems, but Usyk still wins by stoppage, maybe." A second wrote: "Uysk can't win on stoppage. USYK on point. Parker will never quit." A third commented: "This would be a good fight." SUN VEGAS WELCOME OFFER: GET £50 BONUS WHEN YOU JOIN A fourth said: "Parker has earned his shot. And I genuinely believe Parker is the best person to give Usyk an actual tough fight." Another added: "Parker might just be Usyk's boogeyman. Parker has that 'thing' in him." 'Laughed it off' - Joseph Parker reveals Usyk's blunt reaction after face-to-face challenge as rival opens door to Fury trilogy Usyk vs Dubois round by round as brutal knockout cements Ukrainian's place in history OLEKSANDR USYK cemented his name in the list of all-time boxing greats as he became a three-time undisputed champion with a fifth round knockout win over Daniel Dubois. Usyk dropped Dubois multiple times as he put any doubts about his first win over the Brit to bed by cementing the repeat and avoiding the revenge. Here, SunSport's Jack Figg gives his round-by-round verdict... ROUND ONE Usyk looks light on his toes, swaying side to side, Dubois plants his feet and walks forward. Stiff jab from Usyk appears to almost wake Dubois up and the Brit responds with a one-two. Usyk searches to the body with a left, blocks a right hand from Dubois and ends the round with a menacing combo. Usyk 10 Dubois 9 ROUND TWO Dubois lunges in with a right hand, Usyk expertly takes half a step back and responds with a counter left. Another right misses from Dubois and he takes a left cross which has him on shaky legs. Already Usyk is finding his rhythm, making Dubois miss and certainly making him pay. Usyk 10 Dubois 9 (Usyk 20 Dubois 18) ROUND THREE Usyk staggers back after a right hand from Dubois - maybe more off balance than hurt. Dubois charges forward with a left hook, right hand but Usyk covers up well. Huge left hook lands on the button from Usyk, sweat sprays off Dubois face. Usyk 10 Dubois 9 (Usyk 30 Dubois 27) ROUND FOUR Right uppercut lands on Usyk's belt-line in a genuine case of dejavu from low-blow gate in their first fight. Dubois traps Usyk in the corner, lands a right but the Ukrainian legend slips off before any troubling damage can be done. Left hand lands for Usyk but Dubois grabs on and closes the distance, smart defence to cap off his best round so far. Usyk 9 Dubois 10 (Usyk 39 Dubois 37) ROUND FIVE Right hook followed by a left hand lands for Usyk has Dubois teetering backwards. Dubois comes forward, charging at Usyk and the two trade off in the corner but DOWN GOES DUBOIS after a counter right hook. He makes it to his feet but is dropped with another left hook and the fight is over! Dubois fails to beat the count and Usyk is once again undisputed heavyweight world champion. Usyk wins by KO And fans will be pleased to discover that Usyk has reportedly been ordered to fight Parker by the WBO. He will have to defend his WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO heavyweight world titles against the New Zealander. The two fighters have 30 days to agree on a deal, and then there will be bids for the purse. Meanwhile, after beating Dubois, Usyk had a press conference in stitches as he named his left hook that won him the fight. He said: "Left hook is like this [imitates a punch]. "And that [is] Ivan. It's a Ukrainian name. Ivan is like a big guy who lives in a village who works. "'What is your name?' [In a heavy voice] 'My name is Ivan'. "It's hard, hard punch. Yeah, Ivan." The undefeated star revealed he wants to spend some time with his family before deciding on his next match. He added: "I don't want anything next, this is enough. I want to rest now. I want to get home to my family and wife and my children. "I want to rest now but maybe - in two or three months - actually no, just rest."
