All police charges dropped against Scheffler

All charges against world number one Scottie Scheffler following his arrest at the US PGA Championship earlier this month have been dropped.

The American was arrested outside Valhalla Golf Club hours before his second round at the US PGA Championship on the morning of 17 May after trying to drive into the club in heavy traffic.

Scheffler had been charged with second-degree assault of a police officer, third-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving and disregarding traffic signals from an officer.

After reviewing the evidence, Jefferson County Attorney Mike O’Connell said Scheffler's actions did not "satisfy the elements of any criminal offence" and "corroborated" Scheffler's assertation that the incident was a "big misunderstanding".
