RORY Mcllroy playing free from the burden of chasing a career grand slam is a "scary" prospect for his rivals, according to Open champion Xander Schauffele.

Schauffele said he would not be surprised if the world number two now “rattled off” several more major titles following his dramatic Masters victory at Augusta National.

The 31-year-old Olympic gold medallist, who won both the USPGA and Open crowns last year, made clear he also harbours the dream of claiming all four majors.

“It’s something that's been written down a long time ago and something I think every golfer should try and achieve,” he said.

“There's a reason there's only been six of them [male golfers] to ever do it. But until last year it felt like it was impossible, almost.

“After a year like last year, it definitely lets a young pro like myself dream a little bit more again.
