Scottie Scheffler has moved just one triumph away from joining golf's most elite club and could become part of a 'magnificent seven' if he completes the career grand slam of major championship victories at next year's US Open.

In April, there was much hoopla as Rory McIlroy became the sixth member of the career slam club when he joined Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods with his emotional Augusta triumph as the only men in the modern era to complete the Masters, US Open, British Open and PGA set.
