CHARLOTTE, North Carolina (Reuters) - Finally free from the burden of chasing a career Grand Slam, Rory McIlroy is a hot favourite at this week's PGA Championship in Charlotte, North Carolina, where Scottie Scheffler and Bryson DeChambeau are both looking for a third major triumph.

McIlroy, who secured the elusive Masters title to complete his collection of majors last month, will surely like his chances at Quail Hollow Club given he has enjoyed more success at the venue than any other player.
