LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Xander Schauffele was in the lead for the fifth time in his last six rounds. Masters champion Scottie Scheffler was in the thick of contention with his 42nd straight round of par or better. Bryson DeChambeau smashed his way into the mix with nine tee shots over 300 yards.Not with Scheffler in handcuffs before dawn in the back of a police car. Not with the second round delayed by one hour, 20 minutes because of a fatal pedestrian-bus accident right outside the gates of Valhalla.
Scheffler was released from jail and made it back to Valhalla with 56 minutes to spare before his tee time. He shot a 66 was three shots back in his bid for a second straight major.The world's No. 1 player was driving to Valhalla about 6 a.m. when he ran into traffic, unaware police were investigating a pedestrian — John Mills, who worked for a vendor at the tournament — who was struck and killed by a shuttle bus near the entrance.
“I did spend some time stretching in a jail cell. That was a first for me,” Scheffler said."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. I started going through my routine and I tried to get my heart rate down as much as I could today.Not just any golf. He hit a wedge to 3 feet for birdie on his first hole.
“We’re pro golfers, we’re not professional mud readers,” Schauffele said. “So I was praying that the mud on my ball wasn’t going to do something, and I felt like I made a really nice pass at it ... and I look up and my ball’s just duck-hooking across the property.”Morikawa challenged at the Masters and is back for more, and while his swing helps him keep the ball in front of him, it's his putting that is making him believe he can be there at the end.
