Red-hot Scottie Scheffler closes in on ANOTHER huge win as he chips in for an eagle to begin his final round at the RBC Heritage... as he continues to wait for wife Meredith to give birth!

Scottie Scheffler got off to the perfect start in his quest for another victory on the PGA Tour, chipping in for an eagle on the par-five second hole at the RBC Heritage.

The red-hot world No. 1 is fresh off his Masters win at Augusta last weekend, and has wasted no time in getting back out on the course, playing in this week's event at Hilton Head Island in South Carolina.

Fans couldn't believe their eyes on the second hole of his final round, as the American furthered his lead at the top by chipping in from off the green, before celebrating in a very Scheffler-like manner with his caddie.

The pair looked at each other and the two-time major champion shrugged his shoulders as if to say, 'that'll work', after extending his lead to four shots, at 19-under-par.

Scheffler's wife Meredith is very close to giving birth to the couple's first child, and the golf sensation was very clear in his intentions to walk off the course at the Masters last week if she were to go into labor.

Thankfully for the pair, the baby held off and Scheffler earned himself a second Green Jacket - and the $3.6m top prize.

If Scheffler is able to hold on for another big win this weekend, he will scoop himself the same prize again, taking his total earnings in seven days to $7.2m.

The RBC Heritage is the fifth 'signature' event on the PGA Tour this season, with Scheffler also winning $4m at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in March.

That same month, he also topped the leaderboard at the Players Championship, taking home the top prize of $4.5m.

Incredibly, he already had $15.1m to his name in prize money earnings in 2024, with that number sky-rocketing to $18.7m if he is able to stay atop the leaderboard in South Carolina on Sunday.

As you may expect, fans were in awe once again of Scheffler's dominance on the golf course, with one writing: 'He's just simply the best.'

Another added: 'Red cardigans. Green jackets. Red jackets. They're all the same. The man is a machine right now.'
