LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Scottie Scheffler got off to a rough start in Round 3 of the PGA Championship on Saturday, making two bogeys and a double bogey over his first four holes and finishing the front nine in 3-over 38.
Scheffler, who was arrested Friday, then released from jail in time to make his second-round tee time, started the day in fourth place after a round of 66.
By the time he made the turn Saturday, he had dropped into a tie for 29th at 6 under. That put him seven shots behind leader Xander Schauffele on a day when low scores were available.
Shane Lowry played the front nine in 6-under 29 and had added two more birdies on the back to vault into a second-place tie with Collin Morikawa. Justin Rose was 6 under for the day and had moved up 19 spots into fourth.
