He orders chicken and waits for it to be scooped in the bowl before asking for "double meat" to ensure he gets two full portions and avoid being undercut.

Scheffler said: "Because if you just say double meat, they don't give you the full scoopage of both."

Barstool Sports' Daniel Rapaport tested the patient method and reported back great results.

He posted on X: "Just followed the Scottie Scheffler method at Chipotle of saying chicken, then waiting until they give a serving of chicken before saying “double chicken” and I must say—terrific results.

"I always back him, I always end up being disappointed at the end of that endeavour.

"But I'm going again, I'm going again. He has the game, his form isn't necessarily where he'd want it coming into this year's Masters.

"But we know what he's capable of and to be fair, of all the majors, it's probably the one he should have won first.

"He let it slip by in 2011, maybe this is the year for him."
