A Wild Scene Outside Valhalla Prior To Scottie Scheffler’s Second Round
According to reports, Scheffler was arriving at the Valhalla Golf Club this morning prior to the start of his second round at the PGA Championship when he attempted to go around a bunch of police vehicles that he believed were security.
At one point, a police officer tried to get him to stop by “attaching himself” to Scheffler’s vehicle as it drove for 10 more yards. The Scheffler finally stopped the vehicle, the officer grabbed him from the car and placed him in handcuffs before taking him away in a cruiser.
ESPN’s Jeff Darlington noted that the officers initially didn’t know that they were arresting the world’s number one golfer at the time.
