World number one golfer Scottie Scheffler was arrested and charged with the assault of a police officer in what he called a"chaotic situation" before being released in time to start his second round at the PGA Championship on Friday.Masters champion Scottie Scheffler was arrested Friday morning on his way to the PGA Championship, with stunning images showing him handcuffed as he was taken to jail for not following police orders during a pedestrian fatality investigation.
Traffic was backed up for about a mile in both directions on the only road that leads to Valhalla in the morning darkness with light rain, with dozens of police vehicles flashing red-and-blue lights near the entrance. The officer screamed at him to stop and then grabbed onto the car until Scheffler stopped about 10 yards later.
"Scheffler was then walked over to the police car, placed in the back, in handcuffs, very stunned about what was happening, looked toward me as he was in those handcuffs and said, `Please help me,"' Darlington said."He very clearly did not know what was happening in the situation. It moved very quickly, very rapidly, very aggressively."
With cars backed up in the morning darkness, other PGA-marked vehicles tried to move slowly toward the entrance. Traffic finally began to move gradually a little before 7 a.m. Scheffler is coming off four victories in his last five tournaments, including his second Masters title. He was home in Dallas the last three weeks waiting on the birth of his first child, a son that was born May 8.
