Fans are 2-for-2 in emotional wins at major championships this year.
Scottie Scheffler finally showed he is human as he celebrated by slamming down his hat and letting out a massive F-bomb at Quail Hollow after winning the PGA Championship.
It is rare for the World No. 1 golfer to show any emotion, but he clearly wanted this one badly.
“F***K, Yeah! That’s what I’m talking about,” Scheffler yelled.
He slammed his hat into the green like Rob Gronkowski used to do his ‘Gronk Smash’ in the endzone. It was perfectly executed, too.
Scheffler shot an even par 71 on Sunday, but it was enough to win his third career major. He defeated the three tied in the runner-up position by five shots.

The former Texas Longhorn has two of the four majors under his belt. He must win the Open Championship and U.S. Open to claim the career grand slam.
It takes a lot to get that kind of emotion out of Scheffler, but he lets those feelings out when he wins a major. This celebration was probably the biggest one yet for him. He had a pretty epic one when he won his second Green Jacket, but to conquer Quail Hollow without your best golf is pretty spectacular.
Is it safe to say that Scheffler is out of the brief “slump” he experienced earlier this season?
In 10 starts this year, he has two wins, one runner-up finish, seven Top 10s, 10 Top 25s and has not missed a cut.
Scheffler seems to be on the rise at the right time this season to do more things he has yet to accomplish on the PGA Tour.
He has 15 wins and three majors now. Not to mention, Scheffler now has $81,924,784 in career earnings after he won $3,420,000 at the PGA Championship.
