SCOTTIE SO HOT

SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER tees it up at the US Open today as this year's overwhelming favourite.

But even though the American challenge appears strong this week in Pennsylvania, the world No.1 has revealed he needed to reset after Rory McIlroy beat him to the punch at the Masters in April.

Scheffler stormed to victory at the Memorial to finalise his preparations ahead of the trip to Oakmont Country Club.

He has been in stunning form, winning three tournaments in his last four starts, including his third Major title at the PGA Championship 25 days ago.

McIlroy, who has struggled since finally clinching a Green Jacket and the career Grand Slam at Augusta National, decided to sit out the Memorial.
