Scottie Scheffler is enjoying the almost-weekly battle to be world number one with Jon Rahm and Rory McIlroy even if he still trails the pair in terms of career victories.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old made his major breakthrough at last year’s Masters, one of four wins in a two-month hot streak, and added a fifth title with victory at February’s WM Phoenix Open.<\/p>\n

However, Rahm’s three successes already this season have restored him as world number one, with McIlroy maintaining the pressure on them as world number three.<\/p>\n
