Scheffler, who posted a four-under-par first-round score on Thursday, had then been stopped and handcuffed in the early hours of Friday morning.
The 27-year-old and his wife Meredith announced the birth of their first child, Bennett, on Monday, with Scheffler insisting that he was “as prepared as possible” to compete for the PGA Championship as a new dad to his son.
“I want to be as prepared as possible in an event and standing here today,” he said. “I feel like I’m as prepared as possible. I feel like my game is in a good spot and looking forward to competing this weekend.”
