A young golf fan and player named Carson McKee had the experience of a lifetime at the WM Phoenix Open on February 4, where he got to chop it up with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and two-time Masters winner Scottie Scheffler. Carson, 12, was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at just two weeks old, and through the Make-a-Wish Foundation, he was able to spend time with both athletes on the course. He even gave Scheffler, 29, a rest along the way, taking a putt for him. Talking with the pros, Carson wasted no time asking the questions just about any kid would want to know the answers to. Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes Meet With Make-A-Wish Recipients "What's your best card of yourself?" he asked Kelce, 36, in a video the PGA Tour posted via Instagram on Sunday, February 8. "I've got a hideous-looking card," Kelce replied. "It's like a blue card where I got ... it's my rookie card, man. It's the worst picture I've ever taken in my life." He also asked Scheffler his favorite club. "Whichever one decides it wants to behave on that day," Scheffler joked, before adding, "I like chipping. So like your lob wedge. You can do a lot of different stuff with your lob wedge." Scottie Scheffler Admits Winning Tournaments Doesn't Make Life 'Fulfilling' Both pro athletes appeared to revel in their time with Carson. Kelce even complimented him on his outfit, which included a WM hat and a tournament-branded button-down shirt. "Dude you got the get-up and everything," he said. "You're swagged out." Cystic fibrosis is a genetic condition that causes damage to the lungs, digestive system and other organs. The condition affects cells that make mucus and digestive juices, causing them to become sticky and plug up pathways in the body, according to the Mayo Clinic. "The story today looks a lot different than what it used to, because of all the research and fundraising from a lot of families that have seen some really down times with their kids going through it," Carson's father, Jarrod, explained in the video. "And fortunately for our family, we've benefited from all of their efforts." Scottie Scheffler Says Fans Who Approach Him Can Be 'Bit Weird' His mom, Heather, added, "It was devastating at first but we've met some really amazing people along the way who have helped Carson and our family and we've very grateful for all of them." Carson also had a chance to ask Scheffler a question during his pre-tournament news conference. Knowing that the reigning Open champion also loves basketball, he asked for Scheffler's starting five, made entirely of PGA Tour members. "I think you gotta start with Gary Woodland," Scheffler began. "He played college basketball so it's a tough one to pass up. Russell Henley is going to be our point guard. Jacob Bridgeman, I think, is going to make the lineup. He still plays a couple times a week. I think Tony Finau will be the big guy for us on the team." And Scheffler couldn't resist giving himself the final nod. "And then I'm putting myself in the lineup as well just because I love basketball," he said. "I couldn't sit on the sidelines and watch those guys play. I think we'd do alright."
