Scheffler insists he doesn't need McIlroy rivalry to stay motivated

Scottie Scheffler shut down any talk of an on-course rivalry between himself and Rory McIlroy ahead of the PGA Championship, insisting that trying to beat the world No 2 did not motivate him.

The American golfer comes into this week having finished as a runner-up in his last three starts on the PGA Tour, the first of those being The Masters - which McIlroy successfully defended. Scheffler is the first player to finish as a runner-up in three successive PGA Tour events since Sergio Garcia in 2014.
