The second round of the PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club took an unexpected turn on Friday morning. The day started with a fatal traffic incident that caused delays and chaos for players and officials.
In a shocking turn of events, top-ranked golfer Scottie Scheffler was handcuffed and arrested after attempting to drive around the traffic tie-up caused by the incident. Scheffler faced multiple charges, and an officer was hospitalized as a result of the incident. However, Scheffler was released shortly after and returned to Valhalla to start his second round as scheduled.
Despite the tumultuous start to his day, Scheffler managed to birdie his opening hole and seemed to be in good spirits on the course. He made the turn with his group at 6-under, showing resilience in the face of adversity.
Meanwhile, Xander Schauffele, who set a major record with a 9-under 62 in the first round, was set to tee off in the afternoon wave with a three-shot lead. However, rain at Valhalla threatened to shake up the leaderboard throughout the day.
As the drama unfolded on the course, fans were treated to exciting moments, including a hole-in-one by Sebastian Söderberg and impressive performances by other players like Min Woo Lee and Joaquin Neimann.
Despite the chaotic start to the day, the action at Valhalla promised to be thrilling as players battled for position on the leaderboard. Stay tuned for more updates and highlights from the PGA Championship.
