1 golfer Scottie Scheffler on Wednesday, as county attorney Mike O’Connell said the office would not pursue criminal action following Scheffler’s arrest during a traffic jam outside the PGA Championship.
“Scottie Scheffler doesn’t want the taxpayers of Louisville to have to pay a dime,” Romines said.
Scheffler had faced charges of second-degree assault of a police officer, third-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving and disregarding traffic signals from an officer directing traffic.
His play declined in the third round with a 73, but Scheffler finished the PGA Championship tied for eighth place.
