PGA Tour star Scottie Scheffler is the favorite heading into the U.S. Open this weekend and he's taken extra precautions to shield himself from the sports bettors.

Scottie Scheffler doesn't care what the oddsmakers think or what people say about his status as the overwhelming favorite in this U.S. Open, and pretty much everywhere he plays. Most of the attention is on the rough that covers the tops of shoes.

Scottie Scheffler may not have been as prepared as he could have been for last year's U.S. Open, but on Tuesday the tournament favourite at Oakmont Country Club said he was well-rested and had done his homework ahead of golf's toughest test.
