Trophy Presentation

SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER: Well, I don't really know exactly what to say. Thank you so much to the fans this week for all the support. I know I wasn't the fan favourite today, but I did hear a lot of USA and Dallas, Texas chants. So I appreciate you guys coming out to support.

Overall, it's been a great week. The fan support all week was tremendous. It was a ton of fun to get to play here. I got to play with Shane the first couple days, and you guys coming out to support Shane the way you did was really special. It was really fun to play in front of such a great crowd.

To my family, starting with my wife and my son, thank you so much for the support. I couldn't do any of this without you. I just love you very much. Yeah, I can't wait to get home and celebrate.

To my parents and the rest of the team, Teddy, Blake, Phil, everybody at home, I can't thank you guys enough. I feel like I've got the best support team that I could possibly have. Everybody does such a good job of working together. Everybody is so humble, and they just do a really good job. Thank you all very much, especially you guys at home.

To the agronomy team this week, this course was in great condition. This golf course played amazing. It was extremely healthy turf. It was a really tremendous week, so shout out to the grounds crew.

Also thank you so much to the R&A for putting on such a great event. You guys do such a good job of supporting the players so well. Especially as an American player coming over to a foreign country, the R&A does such a good job taking care of us, all the way from the locker room to the food and beverage to all the staff in the clubhouse, you guys just do a great job. Transportation as well, just making this week really easy and really special for all of us. Thank you all so much for such a really great week.

Sorry, I had to check my notes. (Laughter).

I guess finally, thank you so much to Royal Portrush and the town here. What an amazing week. I wish I could have seen more of the town, but it was a bit of a business week, just home and the golf course. Overall, it was a ton of fun.

Is that boos or cheers? (Laughter).

No, it was a tremendous week, and I look forward to hopefully bringing The Open back here. I look forward to seeing some of you at Birkdale next year. All the best. Thank you guys.
