Scottie Scheffler of the U.S. was arrested by police on his way to the golf course for the second round of the PGA Championship. Roads near the golf course were congested because of traffic fatalities. However, Scheffler did not comply with the police officer’s instructions and moved to the golf course, and was handcuffed and taken into custody due to police restraints.
He was arrested on charges of reckless driving, ignoring police officers’ signals, and assaulting police officers. He even took a mugshot that showed his face to identify the culprit and arrived at the golf course just in time for the second round to begin. Some fans wore T-shirts with Schaeffler’s mugshot on them.
However, Scheffler did not falter. She reduced her pars by five more and moved up to a tie for fourth place.
Scheffler shot six birdies and one bogey in the second round of the PGA Championship at the Valhalla Golf Club (par 71) in Louisville, Kentucky, on the 18th (Korea time), moving up to a tie for fourth place with a nine-under par overall.
He is three shots behind Xander Schauffley of the U.S., who is the lone 12-under par leader. Some players failed to finish the second round due to sunset.
“First of all, I want to offer my condolences to the family of the deceased. I can’t even imagine what they went through this morning. My work will be taken care of. I was confused, too, and I had a big misunderstanding,” Scheffler said. “I still feel like my head is spinning. It’s hard to explain what happened in the morning. I spent time stretching in the cage.”
Colin Morikawa of the U.S. followed with 11 under par and Sahis Shigala of the U.S. with 10 under par, with Shopley leading for the second consecutive day.
Kim, who tied for fifth in the first round, failed to reduce the number of pars in the second round, falling to a five-under-par tie for 22nd overall. Ahn finished the second round tied for 29th at four under, Kim Sung-hyun tied for 67th at one under, Im Sung-jae tied for three over, and Kim Si-woo and Yang Yong-eun tied for five over, which is highly likely to miss the cut. The cut line is expected to be one under.토토사이트 추천
