Scottie Scheffler insists he has had plenty of rest amid a hectic schedule that continues with the defence of the Memorial Tournament this week.

The world number one collected a third major title of his career by taking out the US PGA Championship earlier this month, then played just a week later at the Charles Schwab Challenge, where he tied for fourth.

He will now contest a third straight tournament in Dublin, Ohio, but Scheffler says he is finding time to recuperate in an extremely busy period.

"My third week in a row, but I got some good rest to start – last week, after the PGA, I got some good rest Monday and Tuesday and had a good start at Colonial," he said.

"I took my day off, came here, played nine holes yesterday, played nine holes this morning, so feeling ready for the week."

Last year, the 28-year-old topped the leaderboard by just one stroke from Collin Morikawa, and he said the best thing he can do is to stay on an even keel.

"If you show up with too low of expectations, not feeling like your game's in a good spot, you're probably not going to hit a lot of good shots," he said. 

"And if you show up feeling way too good about yourself, I think it can have an effect on your focus. Like, if you just show up and be, like, 'Oh, I'm best. I'm just going to show up and win this week,' I think almost sometimes you can get a bit lazy at times out on the course.  

"You have to be very focused on what you're doing."

Scheffler is currently top of the FedExCup standings amid another sensational season that includes two wins and eight top-10 finishes from just 11 tournaments.

It was confirmed this week that the PGA Tour is doing away with the staggered start in its lucrative Tour Championship in September, which previously gave players with higher points a better starting score.

Scheffler is all in favour of the decision, adding: "I think when you're looking at a golf tournament, I think the best way to identify the best player over the course of a tournament is 72-hole stroke play on a really good golf course.

"I think when you look at a good test of golf and you got to compete over four days, I think that's the best way to crown the best winner for that week.

"And looking at the Tour Championship, I didn't love the previous format of starting strokes, and I really like the direction where we're going. 

"I think the Tour Championship's going to be difficult to qualify for. Making the Tour Championship is truly going to be the results from a great body of work over the course of a season, and then you have an opportunity to win the Tour Championship and the FedEx Cup."
