Scottie Scheffler resumed his PGA Championship on Friday after being arrested and released by police earlier in the morning near the Valhalla Golf Club.

It is understood Scheffler was trying to avoid the scene of the incident when he was stopped by police. Scheffler has been charged with assault in the second degree of a police officer, criminal mischief in the third degree, reckless driving, and disregarding signals from officers directing traffic.
What happened next?The police website states he was arrested at 7.28am ET and then released at 8.40am ET , before arriving at Valhalla just over 30 minutes. The first group was due to go out at 12.15pm BST but the start time was delayed until 1.35pm BST, with Scheffler - who had due to tee off at 8.48am local time - then teeing off at 10.08am and birdieing his opening hole of the day.
