1 golfer Scottie Scheffler was arrested Friday morning near Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Ky., where he was scheduled to play in the second round of the PGA Championship. Scheffler, who won the Masters last month, was booked by the Louisville Metro Police Department at 7:28 a.m. EDT on four charges: second-degree assault of a police officer, third-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving and disregarding traffic signals from an officer directing traffic. About 90 minutes earlier, a pedestrian had been struck by a bus while crossing the road outside the country club, police said. Louisville Metro police spokesman Dwight Mitchell told local radio station WHAS-AM that the man was pronounced dead at the scene. Traffic was backed up for at least a mile both ways on the only road leading to the golf course.
