Rory McIlroy and world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler have been grouped together for the first round at the U.S. Open on Thursday, and the four-time major champion is in awe of his rival's current form

Rory McIlroy declared Scottie Scheffler ’s scintillating form means going to jail is the ‘only thing’ that can stop the world No. 1 from winning on the course.

Ahead of teeing off for his second round at Valhalla last month, Scheffler was arrested in a remarkable turn of events. He rushed from his cell to the tee, shooting 66 before falling away from contention with a 73 on Saturday as Xander Schauffele held his nerve to secure a first major title.

Asked what impresses him most about Scheffler’s run, McIlroy said: “I think just the relentlessness. Look, a lot of stuff went on in his life, as well. They've just had a new child. He's been through some struggles in his game, particularly the putter that he's been able to turn around, as well. It's not as if he hasn't had his challenges along the way, or circumstances have been a little bit different for him.
