World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler of the U.S. ranked high on the second day of the PGA Championship, a major tournament, even after being arrested and released by police.
In the second round of the 106th PGA Championship held at Valhalla Golf Club (par 71) in Louisville, Kentucky on the 18th (Korea time), Scheffler made six birdies and blocked one bogey to make a 5-under 66.
Scheffler, who tied for 12th with 4 under par in the first round the previous day, recorded an interim total of 9 under par 133.
Scheffler was arrested by police on his way to Valhalla GC for the game, after which he returned to the golf course and concentrated to establish himself at the top.
A man was hit by a shuttle bus and killed on a road near the golf course at 5 a.m. local time on Thursday, ahead of the second round of the PGA Championship. The PGA said the dead man was an employee of a competition supplier. While the second round of the PGA Championship was delayed by 1 hour and 20 minutes due to the accident, Scheffler was arrested by police while heading to the golf course for the game.
After the accident, Scheffler failed to follow the instructions of the police officer who was dealing with the congestion on the road, and was eventually restrained by the officer and taken away in handcuffs. The officer reportedly got hurt while stopping Scheffler’s car.
The police indicted Scheffler on charges of reckless driving, ignoring police calls, and assaulting police officers. Scheffler even took mug shots of faces to identify the culprit.
Scheffler, who was arrested at 6 a.m. local time, returned to the golf course at 10:08 a.m., the start of the second round, and only wrote down a bogey on his second hole, the 11th hole (par 3) and showed an unwavering performance.
A fan wearing a t-shirt with a mugshot printed on it appeared on the golf course. “First of all, I would like to express my condolences to the family of Mills,” Scheffler said after the game. “It was a chaotic situation and there was a big misunderstanding. I can’t elaborate, but my situation will be resolved.” “I spent time in prison stretching. I thought I would have a chance to come out and play, so I sat down and started warming up. I tried to start a routine and lower my heart rate as much as possible, but I still feel like my head is spinning. I was lucky to be able to come back and play.”토토사이트 추천
“I was shaking with shock and fear. It was definitely difficult to come here and play, but I did my best to control my mind and control my breathing,” Scheffler added.
