Scottie Scheffler detained by police before start of PGA Championship

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- World No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler was detained by Louisville Metro Police on Friday morning while trying to drive into the entrance of Valhalla Golf Club, the site of this week's PGA Championship.

Traffic outside the golf course had been stopped after a man was struck and killed by a shuttle bus around 5 a.m. ET.

According to ESPN reporter Jeff Darlington, who witnessed the incident, Scheffler was trying to drive around the crash scene on a median. A police officer instructed Scheffler to stop, but Scheffler continued to drive about 10 to 20 yards toward the entrance.

At one point, an officer attached himself to the side of Scheffler's car. Scheffler stopped his car as he turned into the entrance of Valhalla Golf Club.

After about 20 to 30 seconds, Scheffler rolled down his window to talk to the officer. The officer grabbed Scheffler's arm to pull him out of the vehicle, according to Darlington. The officer reached inside the vehicle to open the door, and once Scheffler was pulled out, he was pushed against the car and placed in handcuffs.

Darlington was standing at the entrance when Scheffler was detained. Darlington said Scheffler turned to him and asked, "Can you help?"

According to Darlington, an officer instructed him to back away.

"You need to get out of the way," the officer told Darlington. "Right now, he's going to jail, and there's nothing you can do about it."

Other than refusing to stop with a cop hanging on his car for about 20 yards, taking his sweet time rolling down the window and asking a guy there to help him. Other than that no.

So, you know all the facts of this incident how? Or are you just blowing smoke out of your ass as usual?

1Old Pro is correct about instructions to the players, and there was a police officer who directed Scheffler forward-and-around.

The later, "offended" police officer was ignoring the procedure.

- Ref. a FoxNews report, earlier today.

The Q posts talk about the first aresst being a shock. Although, even that is debated. Anyway, this is the most shocking arrest I have ever heard of.

He wasn’t detained. He was arrested by a pension grubbing thug. Not all cops are psychopaths…but most of them are.
