Scottie Scheffler: After his arrest, that’s the last time anyone will call the world No1 dull and boring

Oof. Tell me golf is a minority sport without telling me golf is a minority sport. Scheffler has won four of his last five tournaments, all in the past nine weeks. He came second in the other one. The sport has seen nobody on this dominant a run since that other noted non-respecter of traffic law Tiger Woods. And yet to the local cops in Louisville, Kentucky, he’s just some dumb fool who can’t sit in a traffic jam like everybody else.

Scottie Scheffler, eh? Who’d have thought it? One minute he’s reading passages from the bible to get him through the morning, the next he’s Rubin Carter. The man the authorities came to blame. He wouldn’t play ball with the law. He ain’t no Gentleman Jim. From the time of his release, Scheffler had in the region of 90 minutes to make it to the first tee. With an hour to go until his tee-time, the tournament organiser couldn’t confirm he was going to play. He eventually arrived at the course with just over three-quarters of an hour to spare.
