Scottie Scheffler's attorney denies star golfer assaulted police officer
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Top-ranked Scottie Scheffler struggled to his first over-par round of the year in Saturday's third round of the PGA championship a day after being arrested while his attorney denied charges the golfer assaulted a police officer.
Scheffler, arrested Friday morning after a confrontation with police at the entrance to Valhalla Golf Club, returned from jail to fire an adrenaline-fueled five-under par 66 on Friday to pull within three shots of the lead.
