Scottie Scheffler, the world's top-ranked golfer, was arrested and charged with four offenses, including felony assault of a police officer, after an incident outside Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky. According to reports, Scheffler attempted to navigate a traffic cordon hours before his second-round tee-off at the US PGA Championship, leading to a chaotic situation that resulted in his arrest and booking into jail.

    1. I was fortunate to be able to make it back out and play some golf today.
    2. I never intended to disregard any of the instructions. I'm hopeful to put this to the side and focus on golf today.
    3. I was pretty rattled to say the least. You know, the officer took me to the jail, was very kind, was great. Kind of had a nice chat. Calmed me down.
    4. I was just sitting there waiting and I started going through my warmup, I felt like there was a chance I may be able to still come out here and play.
    5. I feel like my head is still spinning. I can't really explain what happened this morning. I did spend some time stretching in a jail cell. That's a first for me.
    6. This one older officer looked at me, I was doing my fingerprints, he was like: 'You want the full experience today?' I'm like, I don't know how to answer that. He said, 'Do you want a sandwich?' I go 'sure, I'll take a sandwich, didn't eat breakfast or anything'.
    7. This morning, I was proceeding as directed by police officers. It was a very chaotic situation, understandably so considering the tragic accident that had occurred earlier, and there was a big misunderstanding of what I thought I was being asked to do.
