But in the middle of the day, Scheffler was among the first to preach perspective. “First of all, I think about Mr. Mills’ family,” said Scheffler, who shot 9 under par, two spots behind Collin Morikawa (65). “I can’t imagine what they’re going through this morning. My situation will be resolved. It was a chaotic situation and a big misunderstanding. “I still feel like my head is spinning,” he continued. “I can’t really explain what happened this morning. I spent time lying in a prison cell. It was a first for me. ”
The story about Scheffler this week was that he had won four of the last five tournaments and built a big lead in the Official World Golf Ranking and FedEx Cup. He’s a new father and welcomed a son into the world with his wife Meredith last week. He is attempting to win his second consecutive major tournament, becoming the first player to reach halfway through a Grand Slam in a calendar year since Jordan Spieth in 2015.
And yet all of that became secondary as events unfolded early Friday.
At 5 a.m. local time, a man whom the PGA of America said was “a worker with one of our vendors,” and who was later identified as John Mills, was fatally struck by a shuttle bus outside the club entrance. Around 6 a.m., with traffic stopped, Scheffler, while attempting to make his first stop, was arrested for reckless driving and ignoring signals from a police officer, who was tied to the driver’s car. Scheffler and was dragged, suffering injuries, according to the police report.
Scheffler was taken to jail in handcuffs and placed in a holding cell. He was given an orange jumpsuit and watched his saga on a television tuned to ESPN. He was released on his own recognizance and served his first sentence, which was pushed back 80 minutes due to a fatal accident and traffic jams on Shelbyville Road.
