World number one golfer Scottie Scheffler has been detained and handcuffed by police for reportedly attempting to get around a traffic jam caused by a fatal accident near a course.
Play in the second round of the US PGA Championship at Valhalla golf club in Kentucky was delayed early on Friday after a pedestrian was hit by a bus while crossing the road in a lane dedicated for tournament vehicles. Traffic was backed up for about a mile in both directions on the only road that leads to the venue, with dozens of police cars flashing red-and-blue lights near the entrance.
reporter Jeff Darlington, who witnessed the incident, said on air: 'Traffic had been backed up and building. 'Scottie Scheffler tried to enter Valhalla Golf Club using a side median, at which point a police officer instructed him to stop. 'Scheffler attempted to continue to go, the police officer then attached himself to the side of Scheffler's car.
