Louisville Metro Police Department Chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel said arresting officer Bryan Gillis broke policy and has since received"corrective action" for not turning on his body-worn camera. Scheffler, the pre-tournament favourite when he arrived in Valhalla, was five shots off the lead before being arrested over what he said was a misunderstanding with traffic flow.

Scheffler was charged with second-degree assault of a police officer, third-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving and disregarding traffic signals from an officer. He was released from jail in time to make his second round tee time.
