Scottie Scheffler shot a five-under 66, tied for the second-lowest score of the day up to when he finished his second round at the PGA Championship.

It was pretty impressive, considering he had been arrested about four hours before he teed off.

Scheffler was detained at 6:01 a.m. ET and released just over two-and-a-half hours later, and arrived at Valhalla another half hour after that, 56 minutes before his tee time.

His warm-up was severely affected: "I did spend some time stretching in a jail cell - that was a first for me," Scheffler joked after the round.

Scheffler is known for his ability to be totally unwavered, but even he admitted he had been "pretty rattled" from his arrest to even several holes into his second round.

"Took a few holes to feel normal. Obviously, I didn’t have a normal warmup. I usually stick to my routine. I’m a big routine guy.… It took a few holes to settle in," Scheffler said."

"I was pretty rattled to say the least … I was shaking the whole time. I was shaking for, like, an hour," he continued, adding that he had been "in shock and in fear." 

"It was a new feeling for me."
