OAKMONT, Pennsylvania (Reuters) - Adam Scott does not have good memories of the last U.S. Open played at Oakmont but he feels the set-up for this week's edition should especially suit him if he can drive the ball as well as he usually does.

The Australian world number eight leads the PGA Tour's charts from tee to green this season and says he is "excited" coming into the year's second major championship, even though the par-70 layout is arguably the most challenging in the game.
