Not very long ago, Scottie Scheffler, the top player in the world, was detained before the PGA Championship, making it the biggest story in golf.
Bryan Gillis, the Louisville policeman, stated that he tried to pull Scheffler over in order to manage traffic, but Scheffler disregarded his instructions. To make matters worse, the officer further stated that Scheffler was dragged many feet by the car, which resulted in numerous injuries and also tore his pants. Scheffler was consequently arrested, put in jail, and accused of four distinct offenses.
The charges were subsequently dropped this past week when he was freed later that morning and had time to tee off for the second round.
Let’s just say the images of the officer’s injuries didn’t match what many had assumed they would be. On Friday, TMZ was able to secure the pictures from what was formerly being portrayed as a tragic altercation between the police and Scheffler.
The officer’s pants did rupture, as shown in the images that have been viewed by millions of people online, but the remainder of his wounds just seem to be minor scrapes.
Scheffler stated that the incident has lingered with him, despite the fact that social media is downplaying it.
Before the Memorial, Scheffler told the reporters, “The charges are dropped, but I still… now it’s almost more appropriate for people to ask me about it.” “And to tell the truth, I don’t really enjoy reliving it because getting arrested before entering the golf course was a really stressful experience for me.
“It was somewhat relieving, but not entirely relieved, as that will always remain ingrained in my memory,” he remarked. “I’m sure that mug shot won’t be going anywhere anytime soon.”
Since then, his mug photo has become popular and is worn by fans during competitions as a t-shirt and meme.
