Scottie Scheffler says he's still trying to move past his arrest even after charges were dropped
Scottie Scheffler says he's trying to move past his arrest during the PGA Championship
DUBLIN, Ohio (AP) — Masters champion Scottie Scheffler said he knew five days in advance that charges related to his arrest during the PGA Championship were going to be dismissed. In his mind, that wasn't the end of the saga but rather the beginning of trying to put it behind him.
Criminal charges were dismissed on May 29, nearly two weeks after images emerged of the world's No. 1 golfer being arrested and handcuffed outside Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky.
Scheffler said his attorney told him on May 24 that dropping the charges had become a formality because “we had a lot of evidence on our side.” But that didn't mean he had moved past it.
“The charges are dropped, but I still ... now it's almost more appropriate for people to ask me about it,” Scheffler said Tuesday ahead of the Memorial. "And to be honest with you, it’s not something that I love reliving, just because it was fairly traumatic for me being arrested going into the golf course.
