Scottie Scheffler arrives for PGA Championship third round at Valhalla after arrest drama on day two

Scottie Scheffler arrived for the third round of the PGA Championship in much smoother fashion following his dramatic arrest at Valhalla on Friday morning.

Scheffler, the current World No 1, was shoved against a police car and detained while making his way into the club for the second round of the major championship, with remarkable footage online showing him being led away by cops in handcuffs.

The 27-year-old was booked into jail and had a mugshot taken in an orange jumpsuit before eventually heading back to Valhalla following his release. He is now facing four criminal charges, including second-degree assault of a police officer, after allegedly injuring a detective by accelerating his vehicle instead of pulling over as instructed.

He enjoyed an incredible second round in the circumstances - making six birdies and climbing up to third in the leaderboard - before breaking his silence on the arrest in a press conference, where he insisted the whole thing was a 'huge misunderstanding'.

And following the unprecedented drama of Friday morning, Scheffler made his way back to Valhalla on Saturday ahead of what should be a more straightforward third round at the tournament.

He looked in fine spirits as he made his way to the practice green, having overcome a rollercoaster Friday which saw him spend time in a jail cell. 

After heavy fog in Louisville delayed the start of the third round on Saturday, Scheffler teed off at 1:29pm ET along with Thomas Detry and Mark Hubbard. 

He is without trusted caddie Ted Scott, nevertheless, who has briefly left Louisville to attend his daughter's high-school graduation.

Scheffler was running on adrenaline on Friday morning after his shocking arrest, but was able to play well enough to finish the day at nine-under through two rounds.

However, his start to Saturday's third round was nothing like the day before - with Scheffler going double bogey-bogey-bogey on holes 2-4 with some truly awful golf.

His tee shot on the second hole found a fairway bunker and his rescue shot out of the sand found very deep rough. Shot number three was caught up in that thick grass and forced him to take a fourth shot long before needing two putts to hole out for a double.

After carding that six on the par-four second, he hoped to recover on the third hole. Unfortunately, his six-foot putt for par just lipped out and he tapped in for a bogey.

That led to his tee shot on hole no. 4 - which went very left, bounced short of the gallery and rolled through the legs of the fans, past the cart path and under a fence.

The ball came to rest in the penalty area and Scheffler was forced to take a drop just over 60 feet from the hole off the green.

His fourth shot went past the hole and he finally rolled home a bogey putt from ten feet out

All that was required was a simple chip on, but Scheffler duffed his shot and it came up short of the short grass. His fourth shot went past the hole and he finally rolled home a bogey putt from ten feet out.

It was a horrid start for Scheffler, but he almost immediately began his recovery efforts on the following hole with a birdie on the par-four 5th hole.

Scheffler accelerated forward and dragged Detective Bryan Gillis to the ground before being arrested on Friday, after being told to pull over his car outside Valhalla Golf Club, according to a police citation.

Gillis was rushed to hospital after being dragged to the ground and left with 'pain, swelling and abrasion' when the golf star drove forward, while his $80 uniform pants are also said to be damaged 'beyond repair'. 

The incident involving Scheffler occurred after the second round of the PGA Championship was delayed Friday due to a fatal accident near the club. 

A pedestrian was hit and killed by a shuttle bus outside the golf course. Scheffler was not involved in the accident but he was caught in a massive traffic backup around Valhalla. 

Scheffler began his much-anticipated press conference by paying tribute to the PGA Championship vendor - later named as John Mills - who died when he was hit by a bus at 5am on Friday morning.

'One day he's heading to the golf course to watch a tournament,' Scheffler said. 'A few moments later, he's trying to cross the street and he's no longer with us. I can't imagine what they're going through, my heart, you know, I feel for them. I'm sorry.'

He then told the incredible story of how he spent the early part of his morning 'stretching in a jail cell,' joking: 'That was a first for me.'

'Man, I don't really know... my head is still spinning,' he admitted. 'I was just so confused at what was happening at that time. I didn't know what time it was, I didn't know what was going on.

'I was sitting in the holding cell, and there was a TV there so I could see myself on the TV on ESPN. I was kind of thinking about my tee time... and then I laid down and started to stretch a little bit once I got my heart rate down a little bit.' 

According to ESPN, Scheffler was detained by Louisville Police at 6.01am. He had been attempting to enter the course, with media told that players would be allowed through the gates - even as everyone else was kept out. 

News of his arrest broke almost immediately and he was booked by Louisville Metropolitan Department of Corrections at 7:28am. He had to change into an orange jumpsuit before being released at 8:40am. 

Scheffler now faces the following charges, per Wave3:

• Second-degree assault of a police officer, which is a felony

• Third-degree criminal mischief

• Reckless driving

• Disregarding traffic signals from an officer directing traffic

Following the fatal accident outside Valhalla, Scheffler reportedly tried to pull his vehicle around what he believed to be security staff. It was in fact cops, who told him to stop. 

When he didn't, ESPN claims one officer - now understood to be Detective Gillis - tried to attach himself to his car as he drove another 10 yards before stopping.

Gillis is then said to have grabbed at his car, attempting to pull him out before he opened the door. Scheffler was eventually dragged out of the vehicle, pushed up against it and placed in handcuffs, before being taken away and booked into jail.
