One of Scottie Scheffler’s main rivals for the PGA Championship crown had a hilarious response to the golfer’s arrest outside Valhalla Golf Club.
Scheffler has been the talk of the golf world as a major championship came to Louisville, Kentucky, over the weekend.
Scheffler is the number one golfer in the world and was returning to competition for the first time since the birth of his son. The attention on him only increased with Friday’s incident while attempting to enter the venue.
Scheffler was detained for about three hours and stretched from a cell to play the second round of the PGA Championship.
It was his rival Mark Hubbard who took to
Scheffler’s mugshot taken Friday morning after his arrest has circulated on the Internet.
Hubbard’s reaction to Scheffler’s arrest was unique as one of his PGA Championship rivals.
Hubbard is still in contention for the PGA Championship despite shooting two over par on Saturday, leaving him at seven under par overall for the tournament.
Scheffler and Hubbard began Saturday at nine under par and dropped 20 spots in the standings to begin the final round tied for 24th.
Both are eight shots behind co-leaders Collin Morikawa and Xander Schauffele at 15 under par.
Hubbard has four professional victories as a golfer, but none on the PGA Tour.
Sunday will likely mark Hubbard’s best finish in a major tournament, with his previous best finish coming at the 2020 PGA Championship, where he finished 51st.
Scheffler has been billed close to £200 at previous PGA events, with some on social media suggesting the £30-less determination came directly from his driver’s licence.
That would mean Scheffler probably weighed that amount during his late teens.
