Scottie Scheffler Reportedly Made a Splash in Lock-Up
Not only was Scottie Scheffler the highest-ranked golfer in Louisville lock-up, he was apparently also the most popular person there. Another man who had been arrested, and met Scheffler during his short detention on Friday, reportedly said the pro-golfer was nothing but kind, although he had no idea who Scheffler was. A police officer reportedly had to alert him to Scheffler’s star status. “You know you’re talking to the number one golfer in the world, right?” the officer said, according to TMZ Sports. Scheffler also attracted a small crowd of officers interested in getting a glimpse of the pro-golfer. Scheffler was out of police custody within three hours, and back for tee time at the second round of the PGA Championship.

Consistent at making cuts, Mark Hubbard now aims to make it pay off at the PGA Championship
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Those big, crooked numbers bunched on one side of his scorecard made Mark Hubbard wonder if his luck was running out. He was thankful to straighten out things on the other side and remain within sight of the leaders at the PGA Championship. Hubbard’s 3-under 68 on Friday was three strokes off his opening-round score at Valhalla Golf Club, owing to three bogeys over a five-hole stretch on the front nine. Six other birdies more than erased those and kept him within three shots of leader Xander Schauffele (-12) on a rainy Friday delayed and dampened by the predawn death of a pedestrian worker, soon followed by the shocking arrest of world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler because of an altercation with Louisville police. “I putted really well today,” said Hubbard, who needed a quick recovery with a morning start following a late Thursday evening finish. “I wasn’t moving quite as well, driving it quite as well as yesterday, so it made it a little tougher.
