Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and Xander Schauffele are grouped together for the first round of the U.S. Open on Thursday. The star-studded trio is scheduled to tee off at 1:14 p.m. ET in what has to be the most interesting grouping of the tournament. McIlroy addressed the media on Tuesday and had the line of the tournament about the world's No. 1 golfer.
During his press conference, McIlroy joked that only jail could keep Scheffler from winning a golf tournament right now, a nod to Scheffler's trouble with the law at the PGA Championship a few weeks ago.
Rory on @padraig_h: “Probably loves game of golf more than I do, in some way”
Rory on Scottie: “Only thing that took him away from winning a golf tournament was being in a jail cell for an hour”
