**Scottie Scheffler Returns to Golf After Becoming a Father**
Scottie Scheffler, the new father of a baby girl, returned to the PGA Championship on Thursday, focused and determined. In his first round back since welcoming his daughter, Scheffler played conservatively and made only one birdie on the front nine.
